- Large momentum transfer (LMT) is an important technique for magnifying the phase shift accumulated in an atom interferometer. Existing approaches to implement Raman-transition-based LMT all involve physically swapping the propagation directions of the two counterpropagating Raman beams repeatedly, which could significantly complicate the experimental system. Here, we demonstrate a simpler approach for Raman-transition-based LMT that does not involve a physical swap of the directions of the Raman beams. In this approach, both Raman beams are retroreflected, and a Doppler shift induced by a bias velocity of the atoms is used to separate the transition frequencies of the two pairs of counterpropagating Raman beams. Therefore, an effective swap of the directions of the Raman beams can be achieved by shifting the relative frequency between the two Raman beams from the resonant frequency of one pair of the Raman beams to that of the other pair. We demonstrate the use of this technique for LMT-augmented accelerometry using atoms released from a magneto-optic trap.
