Interference of an array of atom lasers
Abstract
We report on the observation of interference of a series of atom lasers. A comb-like array of coherent atomic beams is generated by outcoupling atoms from distinct Bose-Einstein condensates confined in the independent sites of a mesoscopic optical lattice. The observed interference signal arises from the spatial beating of the overlapped atom laser beams, which is sampled over a vertical region corresponding to 2 ms of free fall time. The average relative de Broglie frequency of the atom lasers was measured.
