Abstract

MEMS cells filled with Rb and Xe atoms have been fabricated at CSEM for microgyroscope applications. Characterization of spin-polarized pumping efficiency and of the relaxation times of the Xe nuclear spins as a function of cell size and temperature will be presented and discussed, as well as preliminary results on a gyroscope configuration using non collinear pump and probe beams.
