摘要
A theory of Bragg scattering of atoms is presented in which atoms are scattered by counterpropagating optical fields having different frequencies. It is shown that, for this geometry, the system reduces to that encountered in the pump-probe spectroscopy of two or multilevel systems. As a result, one can tune the Bragg resonances by varying the frequency difference between the optical fields. The possibility of using these techniques to construct an atom-beam splitter, whose output arms are separated in momentum space by a hundred photon momenta, is discussed.
