Matterwave interferometry with Bose Einstein Condensates (BEC) promises exciting prospects in inertial sensing and research on fundamental physics both on ground and in space. By now, we can create BECs very efficiently by using atom chips and compact realisations have already been shown, e.g. by creating the first BEC in space on a sounding rocket mission. However, for in-field or satellite-borne applications, it is vital to further reduce the complexity in order to lower size, weight and power demands and to transform BEC interferometers to easy-to-use devices.
In this talk, different aspects ranging from interferometry schemes, sensor fusion concepts and results on a magneto optical trap and sub-Doppler cooling using only a single beam of light in combination with an optical grating on an atom chip will be discussed.
