摘要
We propose and demonstrate a method for calibrating atomic trajectories in a large-area dual-atominterferometer gyroscope. The atom trajectories are monitored by modulating and delaying the Raman transition, and they are precisely calibrated by controlling the laser orientation and the bias magnetic field. To improve the immunity to the gravity effect and the common phase noise, the symmetry and the overlap of two large-area atomic interference loops are optimized by calibrating the atomic trajectories and by aligning the Raman-laser orientations. The dual-atom-interferometer gyroscope is applied in the measurement of the Earth's rotation. The sensitivity is 1.2 x 10(-6) rad s(-1) Hz(-1/2), and the long-term stability is 6.2 x 10(-8) rad/ s at 2000 s.
