Abstract

In order to overcome the defect that the polarization of an input laser beam cannot be accurately adjusted and maintained by an existing beam expansion collimator, the invention provides a polarization-adjustable laser beam expansion collimator employing magnetic optical trap, optical trap and other structure cold atomic physical experiment systems. A polarization prism and a slide of which polarization axis can be independently and accurately adjusted are arranged in an optical path, the polarization state of a light beam input from a polarization-maintenance optical fiber can be accurately adjusted and maintained, the fluctuation of a laser power is reduced, the change of the polarization state of an emergent light beam caused by the polarization-maintenance optical fiber is eliminated,and the requirement of high-quality ultracold atom preparation is met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a polarization-adjustable laser beam expander collimator capable of converting laser light transmitted by an optical fiber into a large-diameter parallel laser beam. The laser beam generated by the laser beam expander collimator is used to generate a Stable and ultra-low temperature cold atomic groups can be used in cold atomic physics experimental systems. Background technique [0002] In cold atom physics experiments and instruments and equipment using cold atoms as the working medium, obtaining ultra-low temperature atomic groups with a stable number of atoms is the primary technical problem to be solved. At present, the most effective way to obtain ultracold atoms is to use laser beams to interact with atoms to prepare ultracold atoms. According to the theory of laser cooling, the common methods of laser cooling atoms are mainly optical traps and magneto-optical traps. Both methods produce ultracold atoms through polarizat...
