Abstract
Interference fringes of total atomic density with period and for optical wavelength , have been produced in de Broglie atom interferometer and directly imaged by means of an ``optical mask'' technique. The imaging technique allowed us to observe sub-wavelength periodic patterns with a resolution of . The quantum dynamics near the interference times as a function of the recoil phase and pulse areas has been investigated.
