We report a Mach-Zehnder-type dual-atom-interferometer gyroscope with an interrogation arm of 40-cm length and the interference area up to $1.2\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$. The precise angular alignment of the large-scale separated Raman lasers is demonstrated by seeking the phase intersection of Ramsey-$\mathrm{Bord}\stackrel{\ifmmode \acute{}\else \'{}\fi{}}{\mathrm{e}}$ interferometers after the gravity effect is compensated and by decoupling the velocity dependent cross…
