Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-axis atom interferometer system, including a source of cold atoms, a laser source generating a first light pulse configured in such a way as to spatially split the source of cold atoms into a first cloud of atoms propagating along a first trajectory along a first axis and a second cloud of atoms propagating along a second trajectory along a second axis, a second light pulse adapted to spatially deflect the first trajectory along the second axis and simultaneously the second trajectory along the first axis towards a first point and a last light pulse adapted to recombine the at least one part of the first cloud of atoms and the at least one part of the second cloud of atoms at the first point, and a detection system measuring an interferometric phase-shift accumulated between the first light pulse and the last light pulse.

Abstract: Disclosed is an atomic interferometer including a source of atoms, a laser source and a magnetic field generating device, a polarizer, a system for adjusting a detuning between two optical frequencies of the incident laser beam, a two-dimensional diffraction grating arranged in such a way as to receive the incident laser beam and to form by diffraction at least three diffracted beams, a controller configured to select a combination of an optical frequency detuning, a polarization state and a magnetic field, the combination being adapted to select a first pair of laser beams among the pairs of beams formed from the incident laser beam and the diffracted beams, the pair of laser beams being applied in such a way as to interact with the cloud of atoms by multi-photon transitions and to detect an acceleration of the cloud of atoms along a measurement direction.
