preparation example Construction

[0022] Preparation of highly excited atomic samples in the present invention: it is necessary to accurately control the temperature of the heating crucible, and the metal with high purity (more than 99.5%) is placed in a high vacuum (vacuum degree is 10 -4 Pa) in an environment heated to 580-630 degrees Celsius, so that the metal vapor is ejected from a small hole with a diameter of 2 mm on the side of the crucible. The collimation through two apertures makes the metal vapor into a highly collimated (parallelism between 8-12 degrees) atomic beam. The beams of the first laser and the second laser are parallel and incident from the front window of the vacuum chamber; the beams of the third laser are antiparallel to them and incident from the rear window; perpendicular to the beam direction. Controlling the orthogonality between the atomic beam and the three laser beams is to basically eliminate the Doppler broadening effect and ensure high-resolution detection of highly excited...

example 1

[0039] Example 1: Detection of barium atoms in the 6s17d state.

[0040] figure 1 The barium atom 6p measured in the present invention is given 1 / 2 The spectrum of the 17d self-ionization state. Depend on figure 1 It can be seen that the resonance peak of this self-ionization state is located near the wavelength of 493.7 nm. Therefore, when detecting atoms in the 6snd highly excited state, the highest detection efficiency can be obtained only by fixing the wavelength of the third-step laser at around 493.7nm.

example 2

[0041] Example 2: Probing barium atoms in multiple 6sns states.

[0042] figure 2 Given the multiple 6p measured by the present invention 1 / 2 ns Spectra of the self-ionized state, where n = 10-20. Therefore, as long as the photon energy of the third step laser is fixed at 20250cm -1 (the wavelength is 493.7nm), the barium atoms in many 6sns states can be detected with the highest detection efficiency, where n=10-20.

[0043] It is worth pointing out that generally the autoionized state has a large width and increases with the decrease of n. Therefore, when detecting Rydberg atoms, all the atoms in the 6snl state can obtain better detection results by fixing the wavelength of the excitation light in the third step near the above wavelength, thus overcoming the conventional direct photoionization method. In the detection mode, the detection efficiency is highly sensitive to the laser wavelength. In conclusion, the present invention is both efficient and easy to use.

Abstract

The invention discloses a high-efficiency detection method for alkaline earth metal atoms. The method utilizes resonance ionization to detect alkaline earth metal atoms in a highly excited state. Use one Nd:YAG laser to pump three dye lasers at the same time, first use two dye lasers to irradiate alkaline earth metal atomic beams to prepare atomic samples in highly excited states with different n and l values, and then use the third dye laser The laser ionizes the atoms through the process of autoionization. High-efficiency detection of highly excited atoms is achieved by taking advantage of the much greater ionization probability of auto-ionization than conventional photo-ionization. The present invention is a very effective detection means suitable for highly excited alkaline earth metal atoms, it overcomes the defects of the electric field ionization detection method and the photoionization detection method, and thus has high detection efficiency. Compared with other conventional detection methods, self-ionization detection method has obvious advantages. This detection method is applicable to all alkaline earth metal atoms.

Description

【Technical field】: [0001] The patent of the present invention relates to a detection technology, especially a high-efficiency detection method for alkaline earth metal atoms. 【technical background】: [0002] With the application of laser spectroscopy in the fields of photochemistry, isotope separation, and atmospheric monitoring, it is necessary to detect atoms and molecules in highly excited states, and the resolution and sensitivity of detection are increasingly required. Traditional detection methods (such as absorption spectroscopy, resonance fluorescence spectroscopy, photoacoustic spectroscopy, photocurrent spectroscopy, and electric field ionization spectroscopy) cannot meet the needs of highly excited state research due to constraints in detection efficiency and resolution. For the detection of some atoms and molecules in a low excited state, the more effective way is to use the fluorescence detection method to collect the radiated photon signal, while for the atoms ...
