Tune-out Wavelength Measurement and Gyroscope Using Dispersion Compensation in an Atom Interferometer

This Dissertation describes how I used a three nanograting Mach-Zehnder atom beam interferometer to precisely measure a wavelength of light, known as a tune-out wavelength, that causes zero energy shift for an atom. I also describe how such measurements can be remarkably sensitive to rotation rates....
