Embodiments of the invention include an accelerometer system. The system includes an accelerometer sensor comprising first and second electrode configurations and an inertial mass between the first and second electrode configurations. In one example, the accelerometer sensor being fabricated as symmetrically arranged about each of three orthogonal mid-planes. The system also includes an accelerometer controller configured to apply control signals to each of the first and second electrode configurations to provide respective forces to maintain the inertial mass at a null position between the first and second electrode configurations. The accelerometer controller can measure a first pickoff signal and a second pickoff signal associated with the respective first and second electrode configurations. The first and second pickoff signals can be indicative of a displacement of the inertial mass relative to the null position. The accelerometer controller can calculate an acceleration based on the first and second pickoff signals.

One embodiment includes a sensor system. The system includes a cell system comprising a pump laser configured to generate a pump beam to polarize alkali metal particles enclosed within a sensor cell. The system also includes a detection system comprising a probe laser configured to generate a probe beam. The detection system can also be configured to calculate at least one measurable parameter based on characteristics of the probe beam passing through the sensor cell resulting from precession of the polarized alkali metal particles in response to an applied magnetic field. The system further includes an AC Stark shift control system configured to frequency-modulate the pump beam and to control a center frequency of a frequency-modulated pump beam based on the characteristics of the probe beam passing through the sensor cell to substantially stabilize and mitigate the effects of AC Stark shift on the at least one measurable parameter.
