Abstract

This work proposed a theory model for the local photon momentum in a monochromatic optical field. We analysed the transfered momentum when an atom absorbs a photon. Based on the uncertainty principle and Fourier optics theory, we claimed that the atom localization will confine the wavefunction of the absorbed photon that will effect the transfered momentum. We applied our theory to study the systematic effect in the metrology experiment for the fine structure constant based on atom interferometry.
