Embedded control system for mobile atom interferometers

Abstract: Atom interferometers require precise control of digital, analog, and radio frequency signals for effective operation. In this paper, we propose and implement a control system for mobile atom interferometers. The system consists of a microcontroller and peripherals to synthesize radio frequency signals and to read or write analog signals. We use the system to operate a mobile atomic gravimeter by controlling 7 analog outputs, 16 digital outputs, 2 radio frequency channels, and 1 analog input. Our control system… Show more

“…Device processors and application processors are the two functional groups of processors, and each device processor corresponds to a specific device, such as a network card or disk controller. By dynamically allocating operating systems on multicore processor cores, Malek et al realized running multiple operating systems on a multicore CPU [11]. The operating system on the processor core can be controlled dynamically using this design.…”

“…Improvements in the capability of programmable electronics [15][16][17] and expanding database infrastructure can be exploited for use in cold atom laboratories [18]. Microprocessor approaches have been implemented for control systems [19][20][21], locking systems [22,23] and for environmental management [24]. Furthermore, such monitoring hardware can be integrated into feedback systems [25] and used with management software [24].…”
