Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to atomic frequency standard, diffuse reflection laser cooling and microwave technology, and is a cylindrical microwave cavity used for diffuse reflection laser cooling atoms of small cold atomic clocks. Background technique

[0002] The development of laser cooling atom technology provides the possibility to use cold atoms as atomic source of atomic frequency standard. Compared with hot atomic sources, cold atomic sources have the advantages of narrow central fringe line width and high quality factor of frequency discrimination curves. In recent years, cold atomic clocks have been more and more researched and applied.

[0003] The atomic frequency standard system uses the ground state energy level transition of cold atoms to provide clock signals. Its core components include a cooling cavity capable of trapping atoms with laser light and a microwave resonator cavity capable of microwave action on atoms. In a high-vacuum environm...
