Research abstract
Vector Atomic will partner with Freedom Photonics to design an ultra-compact rubidium inertial sensor for navigation in GPS-denied environments. FLAGSHIPs low-power sensor design minimizes laser system components and is compatible with a low-risk photonic integrated circuit (PIC) solution that supports aggressive miniaturization.
