Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a high-precision atomic inertial sensing technology, and in particular to a compact cold atom interferometer integrated device, which is suitable for the field of atomic interference precision measurement. Technical Background

[0002] Atom interferometers are gradually being used in inertial navigation, geological surveys, resource exploration, and basic scientific research. Atom interferometer systems usually built on optical platforms in laboratories are large in size and difficult to transport. In order to meet engineering and space applications, it is necessary to develop miniaturized and portable atom interferometer devices.

[0003] The atomic interferometer device includes a vacuum cavity, a collimated laser module, a detection module, etc. The atomic interference process includes the trapped cooling, falling, interference, and detection of atomic groups. In order to meet the atomic interference conditions, it is necessary to integrate a vacuum cavity, a fiber collimator, a light-transmitting glass window, an anti-Helmholtz coil and a Helmholtz coil, a fluorescence detection and collection device, etc. Therefore, how to efficiently integrate the above unit modules on the basis of meeting the physical principles of the atomic interferometer is an important issue facing the atomic interferometer device. At present, most atomic interferometers adopt a metal vacuum cavity structure, and a glass window is sealed on the metal cavity for light transmission. Since the position of the sealing blade and the fixing screws need to be sealed during the sealing process, the volume and weight of the metal cavity are much larger than those of the glass cavity under the condition of achieving the same light aperture; factors such as induced current and induced magnetic field in the metal vacuum cavity will interfere with the atomic interference process and need to be avoided as much as possible; the size of the anti-Helmholtz coil and the Helmholtz coil is limited by the size of the vacuum cavity, and the glass cavity can effectively reduce the size of the vacuum sealing part and the volume of the vacuum cavity. At the same time, the size of the anti-Helmholtz coil and the Helmholtz coil can be reduced through reasonable design. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in terms of the demand for miniaturized atom interferometers in practical applications. Summary of the invention

It should be understood that the implementation examples described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0025] Implementation Cases:

[0026] In this embodiment, the compact atom interferometer integrated device includes a physical system and an optical system. The compact atom interferometer physical system includes a decahedral vacuum glass cavity 100, an alkali metal releaser 103, collimating beam expanders 201-204 through which cooling light C1-C5 passes, a Helmholtz coil 3, an anti-Helmholtz coil 4, a first reflection device, a second reflection device, a fluorescence detection and collection device 6, a beam expander and shaper 7 through which Raman light R passes, a supporting and fixing module 800 and an ion pump 9, etc.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, the decahedral vacuum glass chamber 100 includes eight side circular glass windows 101 and front and rear circular light-transmitting windows 102 evenly distributed in the circumferential direction. The surfaces of the eight side circular glass windows 101 and the front and rear circular light-transmitting windows 102 are coated with anti-reflection films to prevent the laser beam from causing unnecessary reflection in the chamber and affecting the measurement. The eight side circular glass windows 101 are arranged in a unidirectional order ( Figure 2 In the figure (clockwise direction), there are the first side circular glass window, the second side circular glass window, the third side circular glass window, the fourth side circular glass window, the fifth side circular glass window, the sixth side circular glass window, the seventh side circular glass window, and the eighth side circular glass window, and the front and rear circular light-transmitting window pieces 102 are the front circular light-transmitting window piece and the rear circular light-transmitting window piece, respectively.

[0029] like Figure 2, as shown in FIG3 , the first collimating beam expander 201, the second collimating beam expander 202, the third collimating beam expander 203, the fourth collimating beam expander 204, and the fifth collimating beam expander 205 are used to generate the first cooling light C1, the second cooling light C2, the third cooling light C3, the fourth cooling light C4, and the fifth cooling light C5, respectively, and each includes a fiber collimator, a beam expander, an internal quarter wave plate, and an internal reflector arranged in sequence. Among them, the fiber collimator and the beam expander in the collimating beam expander (201-205) are fixed in front of the internal quarter wave plate and the internal reflector in the collimating beam expander (201-205) to adjust the collimation and spot size of the cooling light (C1-C5), and the internal quarter wave plate and the internal reflector adjust the polarization and direction of the cooling light (C1-C5).

[0032] The beam expander and shaper 7 includes a fiber collimator, a beam expander and a shaper. The fiber collimator, the beam expander and the shaper are fixed in the beam expander and shaper in sequence. The beam expander and shaper 7 is vertically fixed to the upper end of the rear panel by a supporting and fixing base 800. The first reflecting device 501 includes a first external quarter wave plate and a first external reflector. The output optical axis of the beam expander and shaper 7 is vertical to the second side circular glass window, the sixth side circular glass window, and the first external reflector in sequence. The distance between the beam expander and shaper 7 and the second side circular glass window is about 2 cm. The first external quarter wave plate is located between the sixth side circular glass window and the first external reflector outside the sixth side circular glass window.

[0033] The fluorescence detection and collection device 6 includes a photodetector and a signal amplification circuit. The detection optical axis of the front photodetector is perpendicular to the fourth side circular glass window of the decahedron vacuum glass chamber 100, and the distance is 2 cm. The fluorescence detection and collection device 6 is fixed on the rear panel. Since the fluorescence signal is very weak, the rear amplification circuit converts the current signal output by the photodetector into a voltage signal and then amplifies it by 10 7 times, the response time is 1.8ms, and the detection noise is 10mV, which meets the experimental conditions for collecting the fluorescence signal of atomic stimulated radiation.

[0034] The optical path structure of the space includes: the first cooling light C1 to the fourth cooling light C4 after being expanded and collimated by the first collimating beam expander 201, the second collimating beam expander 202, the third collimating beam expander 203, and the fourth collimating beam expander 204 are respectively perpendicular to the first side circular glass window, the third side circular glass window, the fifth side circular glass window, and the seventh side circular glass window, and are respectively incident into the decahedron vacuum glass cavity 100 at 90 degrees, and the fifth cooling light C5 after being expanded and collimated by the fifth collimating beam expander 205 is perpendicular to the front circular light-transmitting window and the rear circular light-transmitting window of the decahedron vacuum cavity 100. The circular light-transmitting window is vertically incident on the second external quarter-wave plate and the second external reflector 502. The second external reflector 502 is adjusted to allow the fifth cooling light C5 to return to the fifth collimating beam expander 205 along the original path, wherein the optical path trajectories of the first cooling light C1 and the third cooling light C3 in the decahedron vacuum glass cavity 100 overlap, the optical path trajectories of the second cooling light C2 and the fourth cooling light C4 in the decahedron vacuum glass cavity 100 overlap, and the optical path trajectories of the fifth cooling light C5 and the original reflected light overlap. The second external quarter-wave plate is adjusted to form three pairs of circularly polarized cooling lights required for the magneto-optical trap. The Raman light R passing through the beam expander and shaper 7 is incident perpendicularly to the second side circular glass window at 90° and enters the decahedron vacuum glass cavity 100, and then is emitted perpendicularly to the sixth side circular glass window at 90° to the first external quarter-wave plate and the first external reflector 5. The first external reflector is adjusted to allow the Raman light R to return to the beam expander and shaper 7 along the original path to generate the opposite Raman light required for Raman transition.

[0035] A magnetic field coil is arranged outside the decahedral vacuum glass cavity 100, and the magnetic field coil includes an anti-Helmholtz coil 3 and a Helmholtz coil 4. The Helmholtz coil 4 includes an x-direction compensation magnetic field coil, a y-direction compensation magnetic field coil, and a z-direction compensation magnetic field coil. The anti-Helmholtz coil 3 and the x-direction compensation magnetic field coil are circular coils, and the y-direction compensation magnetic field coil and the z-direction compensation magnetic field coil are rectangular coils. The axis of the anti-Helmholtz coil 3 is fixed perpendicular to the front circular light-transmitting window and the rear circular light-transmitting window, the axis y of the x-direction compensation magnetic field coil is fixed parallel to the axis of the anti-Helmholtz coil 3, the vertical center axis of the y-direction compensation magnetic field coil is fixed parallel to the front circular light-transmitting window and the rear circular light-transmitting window, and the vertical center axis of the z-direction compensation magnetic field coil is fixed perpendicular to the front circular light-transmitting window and the rear circular light-transmitting window. The radius of each coil and the coil spacing ratio are restricted by the geometric size of the vacuum device, ensuring that the space is minimized to the maximum extent while still meeting the magnetic field conditions to generate gradient magnetic fields and compensation magnetic fields, without the need for additional magnetic shielding equipment.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the optical system includes a cooling optical module and a Raman optical module.

[0037] The cooling light module includes a cooling light laser, which generates a single-frequency laser. The single-frequency laser generated by the cooling light laser 10 is divided into two beams of single-frequency laser after passing through a first spectroscopic unit, wherein one beam of the single-frequency laser is output to a first frequency stabilizing unit corresponding to the cooling light laser, and the first frequency stabilizing unit controls the single-frequency laser generated by the cooling light laser to be locked to the cooling light transition frequency of the alkali metal D2 line, and the other beam of the single-frequency laser is passed through a first laser power amplification unit and a first acousto-optic modulator unit to obtain the cooling light required for the experiment, and finally the cooling light is divided into the first cooling light to the fifth cooling light by a spectroscopic shaping unit and enters the first collimating beam expander 201 to the fifth collimating beam expander 205 of the physical system of the atom interferometer.

[0038] The Raman optical module includes a first Raman optical laser and a second Raman optical laser. The first Raman light output by the first Raman optical laser is divided into two beams after passing through a second optical splitting unit, wherein part of the first Raman light is output to a second frequency stabilization unit corresponding to the first Raman optical laser unit, and the second frequency stabilization unit is used to control the frequency stabilization of the first Raman light. The remaining first Raman light is input to a second laser power amplification unit to combine with the second Raman light output by the second Raman optical laser to obtain combined Raman light. A small part of the combined Raman light is input to a beat frequency locking unit to control the frequency of the first Raman light and the second Raman light to be locked at a fixed frequency difference. Most of the remaining combined Raman light passes through a second acousto-optic modulator unit to obtain output Raman light. Finally, the output Raman light is connected to a high-power polarization-maintaining optical fiber through a beam combining and shaping unit to be transmitted to a beam expander and shaper 7 of a physical system of an atomic interferometer.
