Momentum transfer using chirped standing wave fields: Bragg scattering

Quantum Physics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We consider momentum transfer using frequency-chirped standing wave fields. Novel atom-beam splitter and mirror schemes based on Bragg scattering are presented. It is shown that a predetermined number of photon momenta can be transferred to the atoms in a single interaction zone.
