Portable Gravimeter

We construct a portable atom interferometer which will find practical applications in various fields like geophysics, volcanology, mineral prospecting, etc.  Modularization of the experimental setupPortability and miniaturization of the setup places a stringent requirement of non-standard parts which are generally not available in the commercial market. We had designed various mechanical components like optical mounts and tables.  Electronic components (PID controllers, Voltage controlled oscillators, etc.) needed for the laser systems were custom home-built systems.
