Improving the phase response of an atom interferometer by means of temporal pulse shaping
Improving the phase response of an atom interferometer by means of temporal pulse shaping
We study theoretically and experimentally the influence of temporally shaping the light pulses in an atom interferometer, with a focus on the phase response of the interferometer. We show that smooth light pulse shapes allow rejecting high frequency phase fluctuations (above the Rabi frequency) and thus relax the requirements on …
