Vibrational noise coupling through the inertial reference mirror hinders the atom interferometer (AI) performance, so we use a novel opto-mechanical resonator (OMR) in order to suppress it. We have utilized the OMR signal to resolve a T = 10 ms AI fringe, which would have otherwise been obscured by an average ambient vibrational noise of 3.2 mm/s2 in our laboratory. By incorporating the OMR in our AI we could demonstrate operation in a noisy environment without the use of bulky vibration isolation equipment, therefore paving a way for miniaturization of the AI sensor head. We show our sensor fusion concept and discuss prospects for tailored setups by design and implementation of customized OMRs.
