Published: June 2018

We experimentally demonstrate a shaken-lattice interferometer. Atoms are trapped in the ground Bloch state of a red-detuned optical lattice. Using a closed-loop optimization protocol based on the dcrab algorithm, we phase-modulate (shake) the lattice to transform the atom momentum state. In this way, we implement an atom beam splitter and build five interferometers of varying interrogation times T_{I}. The sensitivity of shaken-lattice interferometry is shown to scale as T_{I}^{2}, consistent with simulation (2C. A. Weidner, H. Yu, R. Kosloff, and D. Z. Anderson, Phys. Rev. A 95, 043624 (2017).PLRAAN2469-992610.1103/PhysRevA.95.043624). Finally, we show that we can measure the sign of an applied signal and optimize the interferometer in the presence of a bias signal.
