Magnetooptic biprism for atomic interferometry
Ovchinnikov Yu. B. ,Grimm R. , Soding J.
A configuration of laser and magnetic fields which might be used to achieve effective coherent splitting of an atomic beam into two parts is analyzed. This field configuration differs from the standard magnetooptic grating in that it offers a much greater splitting of the atomic beam without deviation from Raman-Nath conditions.
