Abstract :
In this paper, a concept for an atom interferometer for measurements of rotations and accelerations with very high sensitivity based on laser cooled rubidium atoms (CASI: cold atom Sagnac interferometer) and its experimental realisation are discussed. The aim is to reveal the quantum limits of such an inertial sensor as well as to assess and to optimise measurement strategies like continuous or periodic operation modes.
