Abstract

We present a laser system for performing single-photon atom interferometry on the 698 nm clock transition in ultracold strontium. We coherently combine the power of two titanium:sapphire lasers and demonstrate chirps of 200 MHz in 2.5 ms while phase-locked to an optical reference. Moreover, we demonstrate a novel, to the best of our knowledge, scheme to deliver 4 W pulsed beams to the atoms via a mode-cleaning optical fiber using active noise cancellation.
