Suppression of Coriolis error in weak equivalence principle test using 85Rb–87Rb dual-species atom interferometer |
Schematic diagram of 85Rb–87Rb dual-species atom interferometer. (a) Related sub-levels of rubidium atoms. Raman lasers with frequencies ω1, ω2, and ω3 are used for 85Rb atoms, while those with frequencies ω1, ω2, and ω4 are for 87Rb atoms; ω1 and ω2 are detuned to the blue side of transitions 85Rb|F = 3〉 to |F′ = 4〉 and 87Rb|F = 2〉 to |F〉 = 3〉. (b) Schematic diagram of 4WDR interference path for 85Rb atoms, k1, k2, and k3 are wave vectors of Raman beams ω1, ω2, and ω3, respectively. For 87Rb atoms, states 87Rb|F = 1〉 and 87Rb|F = 2〉 are involved, and k3 is replaced by k4. |
