We demonstrate a cold-atom interferometer gyroscope which overcomes accuracy and
dynamic range limitations of previous atom interferometer gyroscopes. We show how the …

Continuous water vapor and temperature profiles are critically needed for improved
understanding of the lower atmosphere and potential advances in weather forecasting skill …

The field of atom interferometry has grown rapidly over the last two decades, opening up a
new direction in precision metrology. Atom interferometers have proven to be valuable tools …

A second-generation diode-laser-based master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA)
configured micropulse differential absorption lidar (DIAL) instrument for profiling of lower …

We present a demonstration of a diode-laser-based high spectral resolution lidar. It is
capable of performing calibrated retrievals of aerosol and cloud optical properties at a 150 m …

The development and operation of a mobile atom interferometer for precision rotation rate,
linear acceleration, and gravity gradient measurements is described. Different inertially and …

This thesis presents experimental results from the Stanford 10 m atom drop tower. We use
atomic physics and laser spectroscopic techniques to test both general relativity and …

Solar radiation is a challenge for laser-based daylight imaging since it decreases the signal-
to-noise ratio (SNR) of the imaging. Here we demonstrate a micro-integrated external-cavity …

A modified Coherent 899-21 titanium sapphire laser is injection locked to produce 6-6.5 Wof
single-frequency light at 852 nm. After closed-loop amplitude control and frequency …

Echo atom interferometers have emerged as interesting alternatives to Raman
interferometers for the realization of precise measurements of the gravitational acceleration …
