Abstract

Here we present a cold atom system, small enough to be handheld, and suitable for use in a cold atom sensor. This has been achieved by developing compact and robust components for laser cooling. Notably integrating a centilitre scale vacuum system and diffractive grating magneto-optical trap optics has been a key step in creating this compact cold atom system. The performance of these components is discussed, including the validation of vacuum by using the cold atoms to measure the vacuum pressure. Future improvements are outlined.
