Construction of a Calcium Matter-Wave Interferometer

Construction of a Calcium Matter-Wave Interferometer

I describe the construction of a calcium matter-wave interferometer. The interferometer is based on a Ramsey-Borde scheme, and uses a thermal beam of atoms excited by an optical-frequency transition in calcium. In our experiment four pi/2 pulses of light are delivered to the atoms, which split and r...
