Abstract

We demonstrate a strontium thermal beam atom interferometer gyroscope (AIG) on a rotation table using the $^{1\!}S_0$-$ ^{3\!}P_1$ intercombination line, and measure large rotation rates exceeding 6 rad/s. Our demonstration relies upon a transit-time-resonant (TTR), phase modulation technique for detecting the AIG phase which rejects signal background and variations in fringe amplitude.
