Description

Technical Field

[0001] The patent of this invention relates to the field of fluorescence imaging technology, and more specifically to a device that can simultaneously achieve clear imaging of different types of ions, and also to a method that can simultaneously achieve clear imaging of different types of ions. It is used in fields such as precision measurement, laser physics, frequency standards, and quantum information that require trapping ultracold atoms and imaging them. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the rapid development of cold atom and laser technologies has led to their widespread application in many fields, particularly in experiments involving the interaction of atoms or molecules with lasers, such as optical frequency standards and quantum information. These applications require the readout of the quantum states of trapped cold atoms and ions, and the primary challenge is to clearly image these atoms and ions. For imaging a single type of atom or ion, a mature technical solution currently exists. Fluorescence emitted by the atom or ion is collected and imaged by an aspheric lens assembly, then imaged by an electron multiplying digital camera (EMCCD) or read by a photomultiplier tube (PMT). Stray light fields are filtered using narrowband filters and mechanical apertures, enabling efficient readout of quantum states during cold atom manipulation. However, the most advanced research is gradually focusing on the Bose-Einstein condensation of ions deep in atoms, the interaction between atoms and ions, chemical reactions between different types of atoms induced by external fields, and the study of Bell inequalities between different ions. These fields all involve the manipulation of the quantum states of two different types of atoms / ions. Clear imaging of different types of atomic systems is one of the main problems currently faced. This is mainly due to the different wavelengths of the transitions selected for atom / ion imaging, which in turn leads to different positions of the imaging system's clear imaging surface for atoms / ions. In addition, the imaging of different types of atomic systems also faces the impact of the imaging of one ion on the imaging of another ion, which needs to be avoided and eliminated technically. From a commercial and practical application perspective, an integrated imaging system has higher stability, a more integrated and simple structure, saves R&D costs, and is more conducive to the industrialization and practical application of the system. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and solve the above-mentioned main problems, the application discloses a device capable of simultaneously realizing clear imaging of different kinds of ions and a method capable of simultaneously realizing clear imaging of different kinds of ions, wherein only one set of primary imaging system is used to collect the fluorescence emitted by calcium ions and ytterbium ions, since the corresponding wavelengths of the fluorescence emitted by the calcium ions and the ytterbium ions are different, the corresponding fluorescence (369nm) of the ytterbium ions and the corresponding fluorescence (397nm) of the calcium ions can be separated through a dichroic mirror, then the stray light is filtered through the holes of a mechanical pinhole plate and the corresponding narrowband filter of each wavelength, and then the filtered light enters the corresponding CCD and PMT for imaging and photon reading. Since the fluorescence emitted by each kind of ion is filtered twice through the dichroic mirror and the narrowband filter, the mutual interference problem between the ion imaging is basically eliminated. The positions of the primary imaging system for the atomic / ion clear imaging surface are different due to the different wavelengths, and the position of the independently adjustable secondary imaging lens group of the application enables the clear imaging of the imaging image on the CCD and PMT photosensitive surface, thereby solving the above two main imaging problems. In addition, the application only needs one vacuum window and one primary imaging system, and is more integrated, simple and economical in research and development cost. Compared with the independent imaging system, the integrated design of the application has higher stability and is more conducive to the industrialization and practical application of the system.

The rear end of the second aluminum sleeve T2 is screwed onto the first side surface of a second cubic mount Q2 via internal threads.

[0047] A method for simultaneously achieving clear imaging of different types of ions, using the above-mentioned device for simultaneously achieving clear imaging of different types of ions, comprises the following steps:

[0048] Step 1: Fluorescence emitted by calcium and ytterbium ions within the vacuum chamber passes through the vacuum window W on the chamber and is collected by the first aspheric lens L1. The first and second aspheric lenses L1 and L2 form a primary imaging system. The fluorescence passes through the primary imaging system and enters the first dichroic mirror DM. The first dichroic mirror DM transmits the 397nm fluorescence and reflects the 369nm fluorescence, separating the two wavelengths. This achieves a primary filtering step and essentially eliminates the influence of one ion's imaging on the other. During this process, the micrometer of the first three-dimensional translation stage Y1 can be adjusted to ensure that the fluorescence is fully incident on the first dichroic mirror DM.

[0049] Step 2: After passing through the primary imaging system and the first dichroic mirror DM, the fluorescence emitted by the calcium ions forms a clear image. The focal point of the image is located at the aperture of the first mechanical pinhole plate H1. The first translation adjustment frame C1 is adjusted to ensure that the fluorescence transmitted through the first dichroic mirror DM completely passes through the aperture of the first mechanical pinhole plate H1. After passing through the aperture of the first mechanical pinhole plate H1, the fluorescence transmitted through the first dichroic mirror DM passes through the first narrowband filter F1 with a central wavelength of 397 nm to filter out light components with other wavelengths. The fluorescence then passes through the third aspheric lens L3 and the fourth aspheric lens L4. During this process, the micrometer of the second three-dimensional translation stage Y2 can be adjusted to ensure that the fluorescence passes along the hole of the first mechanical pinhole plate H1 and the center of the second aluminum sleeve T2, and the first folding mirror FM1 is adjusted so that the fluorescence transmitted through the fourth aspheric lens L4 is reflected by the first folding mirror FM1 in the second cube mount Q2 and enters the photosensitive surface of the first digital camera CCD1; or the first folding mirror FM1 is adjusted so that the fluorescence transmitted through the fourth aspheric lens L4 is not blocked by the first folding mirror FM1 in the second cube mount Q2 and enters the photosensitive surface of the first photomultiplier tube PMT1, and finally selectively forms an image on the photosensitive surface of the first photomultiplier tube PMT1 or the photosensitive surface of the first digital camera CCD1, forming a clear image.

[0050] Step 3: The fluorescence emitted by the ytterbium ions is reflected by the primary imaging system and the first dichroic mirror DM, forming a clear image. The imaging focal point is located at the aperture of the second mechanical aperture plate H2. The second translation adjustment frame C2 is adjusted to ensure that the fluorescence reflected by the first dichroic mirror DM passes completely through the aperture of the second mechanical aperture plate H2. After passing through the aperture of the second mechanical aperture plate H2, the fluorescence reflected by the first dichroic mirror DM passes through the second narrowband filter F2 with a central wavelength of 369 nm to filter out light components of other wavelengths. The fluorescence then passes through the fifth aspheric lens L5 and the sixth aspheric lens L6. During this process, the micrometer of the third three-dimensional translation stage Y3 can be adjusted to ensure that the fluorescence passes along the hole of the second mechanical pinhole plate H2 and the center of the fifth aluminum sleeve T5, and the second folding mirror FM2 can be adjusted so that the fluorescence transmitted through the sixth aspheric lens L6 is reflected into the photosensitive surface of the second digital camera CCD2 through the second folding mirror FM2 in the third cube mount Q3; or the second folding mirror FM2 can be adjusted so that the fluorescence transmitted through the sixth aspheric lens L6 is not blocked by the second folding mirror FM2 in the third cube mount Q3 and enters the photosensitive surface of the second photomultiplier tube PMT2, and finally selectively forms an image on the photosensitive surface of the second photomultiplier tube PMT2 or the photosensitive surface of the second digital camera CCD2, forming a clear image.

[0051] The key design points of the present invention are: First, it enables clear imaging of different types of ions, solving the problem of mutual interference between images of different ion types. Second, only a single vacuum window is required to image multiple different ions, greatly simplifying the complexity of the experimental setup. Third, the various optical components of the present invention are highly integrated into an optical breadboard, which can be removably installed as a whole, resulting in high integration and strong practicality. This design significantly reduces manufacturing costs and space requirements, and is of great significance and value in the engineering applications of optical clocks and quantum computers.
