DAMOP 2017

AOSense was pleased to participate in the American Physical Society (APS) Division of Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics (DAMOP) meeting from June 5-9, 2017 in Sacramento. We exhibited our ECDLs, Integrated Laser Controllers (ILCs), ILC-Servos, miniature ion pump, atom sources, and miniature optical isolators. We presented a poster, "Development of an Atom Interferometer Gravity Gradiometer for Earth Sciences," detailing our work funded by and in collaboration with NASA.
