A Testing Method for Shipborne Atomic Gravimeter Based on the Modulated Coriolis Effect
Shipborne atomic gravimeter (SAG) is an instrument that can directly measure absolute gravity in dynamic environments. As a new type of gravity sensor, a standard method for evaluating its detailed performance has not been proposed and the detailed performance of SAG was rarely reported. In this paper, a system of dynamic gravity measurement, which was integrated with a home-made atomic gravimeter, is demonstrated, and a novel and simple method for testing the performance of SAG on the lake based on the modulated Coriolis effect is put forward. Firstly, in the state of ship mooring, a tilt modulation of the gravity sensor has been realized to make sure the Raman wave vector is parallel to the gravity axis. Moreover, a comparison between the measurement result of CG-5 and SAG has also been carried out to evaluate the accuracy of the SAG. Then, the Coriolis effect modulating experiment is carried out with various routes on lake to test its performance in dynamic environments. In the ship mooring state, the accuracy has been demonstrated to be 0.643 mGal. The internal consistency reliabilities are evaluated to be 0.8 mGal and 1.2 mGal under the conditions of straight line and circle navigation, respectively.

A Simplified Laser System for Atom Interferometry Based on a Free-Space EOM
In this paper, a compact laser system for 87Rb atom interferometry based on only one free-space electro-optic modulator (EOM) was realized, where repumping and Raman beams were generated with a free-space EOM. In addition, this laser system does not require a laser amplifier compared to fibered EOM since fibered EOM cannot transmit high-power lasers. However, due to the narrow modulation linewidth of free-space EOM, it is impossible to obtain the frequencies of repumping and Raman beams separately, which would lead to some complicated effects. Therefore, a theoretical analysis was carried out to solve this problem, and a new frequency scheme for AI is proposed. For the experiment, the laser system of AI was built up. Moreover, the atomic interference fringes were obtained with a contrast of 20.7% (T = 60 ms) and the fitted phase resolution is approximately 1.25 mrad. The presented laser system could provide a new solution for compact AI systems in the future.
