Fraction of remaining atoms after up to 600ℏk acceleration and 600 ℏk deceleration. The red squares (resp. green circles) correspond to a square (resp. tanh) pulse sequence. Error bars are a statistical error on the mean over 20 realizations. Solid lines show fits to the data with the function \({P}_{0}\cdot {P}^{2{N}_{F}}\), and the shaded areas indicate numerically estimated losses due to spontaneous emission (dark blue) and pulse-to-pulse amplitude fluctuations with a 4% standard deviation (light blue). Inset: Scheme of the acceleration-deceleration sequence of 2 × NF-pulses showing the OC preparation sequences.
