Abstract

The invention discloses a large-beam-current cold atom source based on a two-stage two-dimensional magneto-optical trap, and relates to cold atom sources in the field of cold atom physics. The cold atom source comprises a first-stage two-dimensional magneto-optical trap (10), a second-stage two-dimensional magneto-optical trap (20) and a corrugated pipe (30). The first-stage two-dimensional magneto-optical trap (10), the corrugated pipe (30), the second-stage two-dimensional magneto-optical trap (20) and a three-dimensional magneto-optical trap (40) are connected in sequence. The included angle theta between a first central axis (112) and a second central axis (212) is 0-30 degrees. According to the large-beam-current cold atom source, under the highest loading efficiency of the three-dimensional magneto-optical trap, the number of atoms can be increased, and the service life of atomic cloud can be prolonged, which has an obvious effect especially in the subsequent cooling process of the MOT; excellent atom sources can be provided for a precision measurement technology based on cold atoms.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cold atom source in the field of cold atom physics, in particular to a large-beam cold atom source based on a double-stage two-dimensional magneto-optical trap. Background technique [0002] In the field of cold atom research, the preparation of a large number of low-temperature cold atom sources is a prerequisite for basic and applied research. Three-dimensional magneto-optical trap [MOT] is an effective way to prepare cold atom sources, see [New Journal of Physics 12 (2010) 095009, Nature 400 (1999) 849, etc.]. Typically, a magneto-optical trap can be loaded with about 10 8 ~10 9 atoms, and cooled down to tens of microkelvins. [0003] In the process of loading atoms in the magneto-optical trap, if the background vacuum degree is high and the atom background vapor pressure is relatively small, the initial loading rate will be relatively slow, and the number of atoms reaching the equilibrium state will be relatively small...
