Computation of the phase induced by non-newtonian gravitational potentials in atom interferometry
In this letter we present a computation of the phase induced by test masses of different geometry, in the framework of non-newtonian gravitation, on an ideal separated arms atom interferometer. We deduce the related limits on the non-newtonian gravitational strength in the sub-millimeter region for the potential range. These limits would be comparable with the best existing experimental limits ...
متن کاملLarge-Area Atom Interferometry with Frequency-Swept Raman Adiabatic Passage.
We demonstrate light-pulse atom interferometry with large-momentum-transfer atom optics based on stimulated Raman transitions and frequency-swept adiabatic rapid passage. Our atom optics have produced momentum splittings of up to 30 photon recoil momenta in an acceleration-sensitive interferometer for laser cooled atoms. We experimentally verify the enhancement of phase shift per unit accelerat...
متن کاملGeneration of arbitrary lithographic patterns using Bose-Einstein-condensate interferometry
We propose an arbitrary pattern lithography process using interference of Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). A symmetric three-pulse Raman atom interferometer (AI) is used to implement the system. The pattern information, in the form of a phase-only mask, is optically encoded into the BEC order parameter in one of the AI arms. The lithographic pattern is represented by a two-dimensional intensit...
متن کاملControllable optical phase shift over one radian from a single isolated atom.
Fundamental optics such as lenses and prisms work by applying phase shifts of several radians to incoming light, and rapid control of such phase shifts is crucial to telecommunications. However, large, controllable optical phase shifts have remained elusive for isolated quantum systems. We have used a single trapped atomic ion to induce and measure a large optical phase shift of 1.3±0.1 radians...
متن کاملObservation of light-induced coherence loss in a caesium atomic fountain
We report on an experimental measurement of the phase shifts associated with the AC Stark effect. The optically induced light shift was measured using a Ramsey fringe technique and we have made detailed studies of the potential sources of coherence loss that can occur for an atomic sample manipulated by light. We investigated the loss of coherence due to the light shifts induced by using a non-...
