We compare temporal square pulses, which produce sidelobes in momentum space, with other shapes which can produce more nearly square momentum distributions. We produce pulses that simultaneously address two sets of velocity classes and demonstrate that we can control the differential phase imprinted on them in a way that is insensitive to laser phase fluctuations. Our work marks a significant step forward in testing Bell inequalities using massive particles entangled in momentum.}, }
