Abstract
In this contribution, we present some recent theoretical results concerning the fringe contrast in Mach-Zehnder atom interferometers and the use of Bl och states to describe atomic diffraction. We also describe the observation of diffraction of lithium at thermal energy by a quasi-resonant laser stan ding wave. (C) 2001 Academie des sciences/Editions scientifiques et medical es Elsevier SAS.
