Abstract

Optical, stimulated Raman transitions were used to coherently split and transfer momentum to Bose-Einstein condensates of sodium atoms. This technique exhibited a highly directional, quasi-continuous atom laser and four-wave mixing of matter-waves. It was also noted that when the condensate atoms are exposed to a moving, standing wave they undergo Bragg diffraction and the momentum transfer is unidirectional.
