Problems solved by technology

The optical path length of the interaction between light and atoms in the alkali metal atom gas cavity structure of this structure is limited by the thickness of the silicon wafer and the silicon processing technology, usually 1 mm to 2 mm, and it is difficult and expensive to further increase the thickness, thus limiting the interaction between light and atoms. The action optical path, the signal-to-noise ratio of the CPT signal is low, which affects the frequency stability of the CPT atomic clock

Abstract

The invention relates to an atom gas cavity device with double reflectors and a groove-shaped structure and a manufacturing method of the atom gas cavity device. The atom gas cavity device is composed of a cavity body structure defined by a silicon wafer and a glass sheet in a bonding mode, wherein the bottom of the silicon wafer is provided with one reflector, the silicon wafer is provided with a groove, and the other reflector is arranged inside the glass sheet. The cross section of the groove is of an inversed trapezoidal shape structure, and is formed by a 100-type monocrystalline silicon wafer in a silicon anisotropic wet etching mode. The side walls of the groove are 111-type crystal faces of the silicon wafer. The interior of the glass sheet and the bottom of the groove of the silicon wafer are respectively provided with one reflector, and the reflectors are used for reflecting laser many times. The atom gas cavity device can be used for atomic clocks, magnetometers and other systems, laser is reflected many times between the double reflectors, the space length of interaction between laser and atom gas is increased, the signal-to-noise ratio of coherent population trapping signals is increased, and system stability can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) device manufacturing and packaging, and the technical field of atomic physics devices, and specifically relates to a micro-atomic cavity structure based on MEMS technology and a manufacturing method thereof. Background technique [0002] Atomic clocks can measure time with an accuracy of one billionth of a second or even higher. Atomic clocks are currently the most accurate artificial clocks, and their related research is of great significance. CPT (Coherent Population Trapping, coherent layout trapping effect) atomic clock is an atomic clock frequency source realized by using two-color coherent light to interact with atoms to prepare atoms into a coherent state, and using the CPT signal as a microwave frequency discrimination signal. Due to the characteristics of easy miniaturization, low power consumption and high frequency stability, the CPT atomic clock has been ...
