Realization of a compact one-seed laser system for atom interferometer-based gravimeters
Abstract:
A simple and compact design of the laser system is important for realization of compact atom interferometers (AIs). We design and realize a simple fiber bench-based 780-nm laser system used for 85Rb AI-based gravimeters. The laser system contains only one 780 nm seed laser, and the traditional frequency-doubling-module is not used. The Raman beams are shared with one pair of the cooling beams by using a liquid crystal variable retarder based polarization control technique. This laser system is applied to a compact AI-based gravimeter, and a best gravity measurement sensitivity of 230 μGal/Hz1/2 is achieved. The gravity measurements for more than one day are also performed, and the long-term stability of the gravimeter is 5.5 μGal.

Compact Bone
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
