This paper explores a way of combining conventional inertial sensors with cold atom interferometers (CAI) in order to reduce the drift of the navigation solutions in velocity and orientation. Instead of complementing and improving the CAI with conventional sensors, in this approach the conventional IMU will be used as main sensor for a prediction of the kinematic state. The CAI is then used for the correction of systematic errors and offsets in the framework of an extended Kalman Filter. Monte Carlo simulation studies demonstrate an improvement of the navigation solution precision. In addition, most drifts of velocity and orientation can be eliminated and the uncertainty of the velocity solution can further be reduced by a factor of 30 or more compared to the conventional strapdown. The observability of the error states is discussed.

“…In the case of Bragg interferometers, the output ports are in the same hyperfine state and differ only by their momentum. One can thus in principle spatially resolve the different momenta states after some free evolution, via absorption imaging on a CCD camera for instance [16]. This method ideally requires that the spatial separation between the output ports exceeds the size of the atomic cloud at the detection.…”

We report on the study of a detection scheme based on a Bloch separator in two-photon Bragg interferometers. We increase the spatial separation between the two output ports of the interferometer by selectively imparting 30 Bloch oscillations to one of them before their detection via time of flight. This method allows increasing the duration of the interferometer by reducing the time for discriminating the ports of the interferometer at detection. We study in detail the impact of this separator on the performance of a dual gravity sensor, and in particular on its measurement sensitivities to gravity acceleration and gravity gradients.

“…Atom interferometry offers a different approach for providing absolute measurements of inertial forces with high long-term stability. Moreover, achieving the necessary areas for competitive performance with matter waves is a long-standing challenge 4 – 10 . We propose an atom interferometer performing multiple loops in free fall.…”

The sensitivity of light and matter-wave interferometers to rotations is based on the Sagnac effect and increases with the area enclosed by the interferometer. In the case of light, the latter can be enlarged by forming multiple fibre loops, whereas the equivalent for matter-wave interferometers remains an experimental challenge. We present a concept for a multi-loop atom interferometer with a scalable area formed by light pulses. Our method will offer sensitivities as high as $$2\times 10^{-11}$$ 2 × 10 - 11 rad/s at 1 s in combination with the respective long-term stability as required for Earth rotation monitoring.
