Abstract
Many atom interferometer applications would benefit from large angle atomic beamsplitters with narrow distributions. The interaction between a magnetic field and two standing wave laser fields can provide such a beamsplitter.1 Unfortunately, the required magnetic fields are undesirable in many interferometer applications, and few atomic systems have a suitable transition.
