Abstract
An atomic multiple-beam interferometer comprised of numerous copropagating stimulated Raman transitions has been developed using laser-cooled and trap ped sodium atoms. The interference fringes of the interferometer with multi ple rf fields were calculated by a method based on atomic trajectory and we re compared with the experimental results. An interference fringe with a fi nesse of 180 was demonstrated for 200 successive Raman pulses.
