• Bragg diffraction
• Raman diffraction
• Inertial sensor

In this paper, we discuss the optimization of atom interferometers for rotation and gravitational wave detection. We consider various diffraction processes and we focus our analysis on Bragg diffraction by a laser standing wave. We show that high order diffraction should be feasible with moderate laser power.
