Abstract
We have designed and realized a compact portable laser system for high-sensitivity mobile cold atom interferometers. The laser system is mounted on a single module with dimensions of and emits lights directly on up to 13 fiber ports for a two-dimensional magneto-optical trap, atom fountain, Raman transition, and normalized detection. A double-sided optical structure and mounts without kinematic adjustment are designed to achieve high-level integration and stability. The laser system is applied to a mobile atom gravimeter and achieves a sensitivity of . Experiencing 1200-km-long truck transportation, the laser system could be restored to good operating status without internal realignment.
