We propose an approach to characterizing the depths of optical lattices, in which either an atomic gas is given a finite initial momentum or, alternatively, a corresponding “walking” configuration is applied to the optical lattice itself. This leads... Read More about Lattice-depth measurement using continuous grating atom diffraction.

Lattice-depth measurement using multipulse atom diffraction in and beyond the weakly diffracting limit (2019)

Precise knowledge of optical lattice depths is important for a number of areas of atomic physics, most notably in quantum simulation, atom interferometry, and for the accurate determination of transition matrix elements. In such experiments, lattice... Read More about Lattice-depth measurement using multipulse atom diffraction in and beyond the weakly diffracting limit.
