Selective Manipulation of Degenerate Interferometer Loops by an Atom-Optics Kicked Rotor

Alexey Tonyushkin, Mara Goff Prentiss

We experimentally demonstrate that an atom-optics kicked rotor can remove the interference signal due to chosen interferometer paths in a four-pulse de Broglie wave atom interferometer. The interferometer output is dominated by two degenerate spatial loops: the nonreciprocal “trapezoid” loop and the reciprocal “figure-8” loop. By applying the kicked rotor sequence at a particular time we suppressed the contribution of the “trapezoid” loop to the interferometer signal while preserving the contribution due to the “figure-8” loop. When the degeneracy is present, the interferometer is sensitive to both rotation and linear acceleration. When the degeneracy is lifted the interferometer is insensitive to linear acceleration, but still sensitive to rotation. The suppression of nonreciprocal loops in an atom interferometer is valuable for rotation sensing.

We experimentally demonstrate that an atom-optics kicked rotor can remove the interference signal due to chosen interferometer paths in a four-pulse de Broglie wave atom interferometer. The interferometer output is dominated by two degenerate spatial loops: the nonreciprocal ``trapezoid'' loop and the reciprocal ``figure-8'' loop. By applying the kicked rotor sequence at a particular time we suppressed the contribution of the ``trapezoid'' loop to the interferometer signal while preserving the contribution due to the ``figure-8'' loop. When the degeneracy is present, the interferometer is sensitive to both rotation and linear acceleration. When the degeneracy is lifted the interferometer is insensitive to linear acceleration, but still sensitive to rotation.

Perfect coherence preservation in an atom interferometer perturbed by optical standing wave pulses acting as a kicked rotor

Alexey Tonyushkin, Saijun Wu, Mara Goff Prentiss

We experimentally studied the effect of standing wave pulses on an atom interferometer. Despite the external field perturbations the coherence is perfectly preserved for the conditions similar to quantum resonances of a quantum kicked rotor.
