Review of Atom Chips for Absolute Gravity Sensors

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

In the context of the development of new generation absolute gravity sensor, the Cold Atom Absolute Gravity Sensor appears as very promising, but needs a substantial work on reduction and improved power budget for on field application. This article presents an exhaustive list of what has been done in this context, particularly on the atom chip development for CAGS.

While the content and the reference of the work done worldwide are very well described, the English language used can and should be substantially improved. 

The reviewer recommends therefore the publication of this complete review on atom chips for CAGS after a proper English checking and writing, in order to get a proper scientific review article.
