Image analysis plays an important role in several current state-of-the-art atom interferometry experiments. We investigate the extraction of physical quantities from absorption images of atom interferometers using principal component analysis (PCA).
As a starting point we take a simple mathematical model for the images of the output ports of a two-port atom interferometer which is using a Bose-Einstein condensate as an atom source.
We show an analytic prediction of the PCA results for a subset of parameters which allows us to ascribe physical quantities to the output of a PCA analysis. Using this method we are not only able to extract the interferometer phase for each image but also a spatial phase aberration map shared by all images, here introduced at the final beam splitter.
