AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For beam-type active laser frequency standards, the accuracy of the laser frequency standard is limited due to residual Doppler shift
Based on the active laser frequency standard of the trapped quantum system, intracavity pumping can increase the output laser power and is expected to eliminate the Doppler effect; but there are still some problems, mainly the optical frequency shift of the trapped light field and the pump light field optical frequency shift

Abstract

The invention provides a device and a method for generating an active laser frequency standard based on a four-energy-level quantum system. An air chamber in which a gain medium is filled is formed in a Fabry-Perot cavity, wherein the gain medium is the atomic gas of the four-energy-level quantum system. Pumping laser is emitted into one end of the Fabry-Perot cavity, and the atomic gas is excited from a ground-state energy level to a fourth energy level. Atoms in the fourth energy level are transited to a low energy level through spontaneous radiation, and atom population inversion is realized between a third energy level and a second energy level. The atoms in the third energy level are transited to the second energy level through spontaneous radiation or stimulated radiation photons, stimulated radiation is generated under the action of the Fabry-Perot cavity, and laser is output from the other end of the Fabry-Perot cavity. The active laser frequency standard is high in frequency stability and accuracy.
