Abstract
The authors present a joint experimental and theoretical study of the diffraction of a rubidium Bose-Einstein condensate by an optical lattice in the quasi-Bragg regime. The results focus on the diffraction losses and multiport features, which could guide the future studies of atom interferometry.
