Abstract

In Chaps. 5 and 6 we calculated a series of design constraints for employing Fabry-Perot cavities to assist the large momentum transfer beam splitter pulses in an atom interferometer based on multi-photon Bragg diffraction.

Notes

  1. 1.

    This is a very relaxed constraint, as in reality the radius \(w_0\) of the beam should be larger than the radius of the atomic ensemble \(\sigma _t\) to yield a more uniform intensity profile across the cloud. For a ratio \(w_0/\sigma _t = a\), the temperature limit scales with \(1/a^2\).
