Large-momentum-transfer Bragg interferometer with strontium atoms
Abstract
We report on the first atom interferometer based on Bragg diffraction in a fountain of alkaline-earth atoms, namely 88Sr. We demonstrate large momentum transfer to the atoms up to eight photon recoils and the use of the interferometer as a gravimeter with a sensitivity δ g/g=4× 10-8. Thanks to the special characteristics of strontium atoms for precision measurements, this result opens a new way for experiments in fundamental and applied physics.
