We derive an expression for the phase shift of an atom interferometer in a
gravitational field taking into account both the finite duration of the light
pulses and the effect of a small perturbing potential added to a stronger
uniform gravitational field, extending the well-known results for rectangular
pulses and at most quadratic potentials. These refinements are necessary for a
correct analysis of present day high resolution interferometers.
