Abstract

In this paper we demonstrate a magnetically guided Cesium (Cs) atom interferometer in the Talbot-Lau regime for inertial sensing with two interferometer schemes, Mach-Zenhder and Ramsey-Borde. The recoil frequency of the Cs atoms and the acceleration along the waveguide symmetry axis is measured. An acceleration measurement uncertainty of 7×1057\times10^{-5} m/s2^{2} is achieved. We also realize an enclosed area of 0.0180.018 mm2^{2} for rotation measurement. As the first reported magnetically guided Cs atom interferometer, the system limitation and its advantages are discussed.
