Journal ArticleDOI
Bragg scattering of atoms from a standing light wave.
TL;DR: In this paper, the first observation of Bragg scattering of sodium atoms from a standing light wave was reported and quantitatively predicted the amplitude of various Bragg orders as a function of the light's detuning and power, and the interaction time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffraction of atoms moving through a standing light wave
TL;DR: In this article, the diffraction of sodium atoms from a standing wave of near-resonant light is studied as a function of the atomic velocity component along the k vector of the wave, and a simple theory is presented which quantitatively predicts the observed diffraction patterns and the decrease of the rms momentum transfer to the atoms with increasing velocity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diffraction of atoms from a standing light wave
TL;DR: In this article, a standing light wave is used to build an atomic interferometer, which interferes with atomic de Broglie wave propagation in the absence of spontaneous decay.
