A “hybrid” atomic–optical scheme of an interferometer–gyroscope has been proposed and investigated. It is based on the ring configuration of a Bose–Einstein condensate that is intercepted by an additional potential barrier or well. This ring configuration defect is created by a nonresonant radiation beam that interacts dispersively with the atoms located in its region. The beam propagates along one of the arms of a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. The rotation of the gyrometer reference system modifies the state of the condensate due to the mentioned potential defect and it, in turn, changes the conditions of interference of radiation interacting with atoms. In contrast to the well-known ideas of using the Bose–Einstein condensate in gyrometry, which imply the destruction of the condensate in order to directly observe its interference, the proposed scheme ideally operates without the loss of atoms by the condensate. The efficiency of the scheme has been estimated for realistic conditions.

已经提出并研究了干涉仪-陀螺仪的“混合”原子光学方案。它基于Bose-Einstein冷凝物的环构型，该构型被其他势垒或阱拦截。这种环状结构缺陷是由非共振辐射束产生的，该辐射束与位于其区域的原子发生色散相互作用。光束沿马赫曾德尔干涉仪的其中一根臂传播。陀螺仪参考系统的旋转由于提到的潜在缺陷而改变了冷凝物的状态，进而改变了与原子相互作用的辐射的干涉条件。与在陀螺仪中使用Bose-Einstein冷凝物的众所周知的想法相反，后者暗示着为了直接观察其干扰而破坏冷凝物，所提出的方案理想地操作而不会因冷凝液而损失原子。该方案的效率已根据实际情况进行了估算。
