Abstract

We are developing a transportable atom gravimeter (TAG) in HUST, which is based on the work of our previous two laboratory-confined atom gravimeters [1,2]. The vacuum system of our TAG is designed for an atomic fountain configuration, with an active vibration isolation integrated to support the reference mirror. As regard to the laser system, two external-cavity diode lasers (ECDLs) are utilized as seed lasers, with two tampered amplifiers (TAs) followed to provide required laser power. And optical modules are explored to improve the laser system compact. We have finished the construction of the whole system, and achieved a resolution of 35 μGal per shot. Currently, we are working on the stability test of the gravimeter during transportation and the systematic error evaluation. Here the detailed progress of our TAG development will be presented.
