Abstract

Atomic spin gyroscope (ASG) based on comagnetometer is a high sensitive and compact gyroscope for future inertial navigation applications. The start-up time was several hours of the demonstrated ASGs based on 3He-K or 21Ne-Rb-K comagnetometer, and only a few inertial navigation applications allow such a long time for preparation. We report the demonstration of an ASG based on 129Xe-Cs comagnetometer, which decreases the start-up time to 10 minutes and decreases the operation temperature by 40% as well. By operating this ASG in spin exchange relaxation free regime, a sensitivity of 7×10−5 °/(s Hz1/2) was achieved.

Highlights

  • Atomic spin gyroscope (ASG) based on comagnetometer is a high sensitive and compact gyroscope for future inertial navigation applications

  • Atomic gyroscopes have been developed in recent years, which may prove to be the generation gyroscopes for future high precision inertial navigation applications [3]

  • An equivalent rotation resolution of 2.5×10 7 °/s was obtained by the ASG based on 3He-K comagnetometer [7], and an equivalent rotation resolution of 1.8×10 7 °/s was realized by the ASG based on 21Ne-Rb-K comagnetometer [8]
