- Abstract
We demonstrate a fiber-guided atom interferometer in a far-off-resonant trap (FORT) of 100 μK. The differential light shift (DLS) introduced by the FORT leads to the inhomogeneous dephasing of the tightly trapped atoms inside a hollow-core fiber. The DLS-induced dephasing is greatly suppressed in π / 2 - π - π / 2 Doppler-insensitive interferometry. The spin coherence time is extended to 13.4 ms by optimizing the coupling of the trapping laser beam into a quasi-single-mode hollow-core anti-resonant fiber. The Doppler-sensitive interferometry shows a much shorter coherence time, indicating that the main limits to our fiber-guided atom interferometer are the wide axial velocity distribution and the irregular modes of the Raman laser beams inside the fiber. This work paves the way for portable and miniaturized quantum devices, which have advantages for inertial sensing at arbitrary orientations and in dynamic environments.
