Abstract
An atom interferometer, whose arms are in the different sublevels, was demo nstrated using two sigma (+)- and two sigma (-)-polarized, copropagating, l aser beams in a magnetic field. Using the interferometer, Ramsey fringes wi th a width of 50 kHz were observed as a function of Zeeman shift frequency, The visibility of the interference fringes of 0.046 was obtained at an exc itation power of almost pi /2 pulse area.
