Abstract

The invention discloses a device and a method for compensating for detection polarization fluctuation of rotation angles of linearly polarized light in an online manner. The device comprises an optical module and a measurement control module. The optical module comprises a reference light path and a signal detection light path and mainly comprises a laser device, a polarizer, a liquid crystal variable-phase retarder, a photoelastic modulator, a 1/4 wave plate, a to-be-measured atom gas chamber sample, polarization beam splitting prisms and the like; the measurement control module comprises balance differential detectors, a liquid crystal driver, a photoelastic controller, a phase lock amplifier and a data acquiring and processing unit. The device and the method have the advantages that error sources of various devices do not need to be differentiated for optical detection systems with the multiple complicated polarization devices, only characteristics of input ends and 'black box' type processing modes for signals of output ends need to be considered, accordingly, compensation and correction for eliminating detection random errors of the rotation angles of the light in real time can be implemented on the basis of photoelastic modulation, and the signals can be stably detected in a high-precision manner for a long time.
