Title:
GYROSCOPE BASED ON MACH-ZEHNDER-TYPE ATOMIC INTERFERENCE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/073655
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention includes: a traveling light standing wave generation unit 301 for generating three traveling light standing waves 201a, 201b, 201c; an atomic beam source 101 for continuously generating an atomic beam 101a in which individual atoms are in the same state; an interference unit 201 in which the Sagnac effect is exhibited as a result of the interaction between the atomic beam 101a and the three traveling light standing waves 201a, 201b, 201c; and an observation unit 400 for detecting angular velocity or acceleration by observing the atomic beam 101b from the interference unit 201. The atoms are alkaline earth metal atoms, alkaline-earth-like metal atoms, stable isotopes of alkaline earth metal atoms, or stable isotopes of alkaline-earth-like metal atoms.
