Summary

• What is new: Introduces a point-source interferometer method using molasses-launched atoms for accelerometry and rotation sensing that simplifies the apparatus and reduces measurement time.
• Why this is important: Existing methods for measuring acceleration and rotation with interferometers are complex and time-consuming.
• What the research proposes: Employing large momentum transfer with molasses-launched atoms without needing to physically change the Raman pulses’ directions.
• Results: Outlined a scheme for an inertial measurement unit (IMU) with expected sensitivity and bandwidth improvements.
