This work reviews the topic of rotation sensing with compact cold atom interferometers. A
representative set of compact free-falling cold atom gyroscopes is considered because, in …

Laser cooled atoms have proven transformative for precision metrology, playing a pivotal
role in state-of-the-art clocks and interferometers and having the potential to provide a step …

Compact cold-atom sensors depend on vacuum technology. One of the major limitations to
miniaturizing these sensors is the active pumps—typically ion pumps—that are required to …

Compact vacuum systems are key enabling components for cold atom technologies,
facilitating extremely accurate sensing applications. There has been important progress …

We show that micro-machined non-evaporable getter pumps (NEGs) can extend the time
over which laser cooled atoms can be produced in a magneto-optical trap (MOT), in the …

The stability and accuracy of atomic devices can be degraded by the evolution of their cell
inner atmosphere. Hence, the undesired entrance or leakage of background or buffer gas …

With a large-area field electron emitter (LAFE), it is desirable to choose the spacings of
individual emitters in such a way that the LAFE-average emission current density and total …

This paper is the first comprehensive review on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS)
vacuum pumps. Pumping of gases and generation of vacuum in micro-scaled devices are …

In this paper, a low voltage non-magnetic ion pump based on pyroelectric materials is
proposed, mainly applied in non-magnetic and high vacuum systems such as cold atom …

This work presents a compact ion-pump that utilizes pyroelectricity for ionization of ambient
molecules. The pyroelectric ionization is realized by heating a lithium niobate (LiNbO 3) …
