Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of atomic clocks, in particular to a laser frequency stabilization device for atomic clocks. Background technique [0002] In rubidium atomic clocks and cesium atomic clocks, in order to cause the laser to pump atoms to produce population inversion, or to detect the number of atoms at different energy levels, the laser needs to be locked on a certain energy level of the atom. The usual frequency stabilization method is to add a modulation signal to the laser drive power supply. After the frequency-modulated laser signal is injected into the absorption spectrum device, it is received by the photodiode and converted into a voltage signal. The voltage signal is fed back to the error signal obtained by the phase-sensitive detector. The laser is frequency stabilized in the laser. This frequency stabilization method needs to modulate the laser frequency, and the laser frequency is always in a state of change, which makes t...
