  "textContent": "The application discloses an atom interferometer comprising an optical cavity and method of operation thereof. The atom interferometer includes a vacuum chamber, an optical cavity, a source for providing a cloud of atoms in the optical cavity in use, and one or more light sources. The one or more light sources are for generating, in the cavity, in use a first light beam having a first polarisation and at a first frequency for a two-photon interaction in the atoms; and a counterpropagating second light beam having a second polarisation orthogonal to the first polarisation and at a second frequency for the two-photon interaction in the atoms. The atom interferometer also includes an electro-optic element arranged in the cavity to be operable to simultaneously change: the resonant frequency of the cavity for light in the first polarisation to track changes in the frequency of the first light beam to compensate for the doppler shift of the falling atoms in use; and the resonant frequency of the cavity for light in the second polarisation to track changes in frequency of the counterpropagating second light beam to compensate for the doppler shift of the falling atoms in use.",
