Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of super-stable cavities, and more particularly relates to a vibration- and temperature-insensitive super-stable cavity construction method and a super-stable cavity. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to high frequency stability and narrow linewidth, super-stable lasers have applications in gravitational wave detection, fundamental physics testing, optical frequency standards, and many other fields. There are many methods to obtain super-stable lasers, among which the most common one is to lock a free-running laser to the resonance frequency of a Fabry-Perot cavity, i.e., a super-stable cavity, by the PDH (Pound-Drever-Hall) method.

[0003] At present, most super-stable cavities used in laboratories use commercial cavities, the temperature at the zero-expansion point of which is determined, and the cavities are installed by relying on their own gravity in a non-fastening manner, and are subjected to strict temperature control so as to work at the zero-expansion point of the super-stable cavity to reduce thermal expansion of the cavity and frequency drift.

[0004] The super-stable cavities used in laboratories have the disadvantages of inconvenient transportation due to non-fixed installation, and large system volume, power consumption, and weight. With the development of super-stable lasers towards miniaturization, portability, and space application, in order to facilitate transportation, the super-stable cavity needs to adopt a completely fixed support structure, while still ensuring low vibration sensitivity. Due to the limitation of the volume and power consumption of the temperature control system in portable environments and space application environments, the zero-expansion temperature point of the cavity needs to be adjusted to the ambient temperature to reduce the power consumption requirement of the temperature control system.

[0047] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to explain the present application and not to limit the present application. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0048] Embodiment one

[0049] The content involved in the above embodiments will be described below in combination with a preferred embodiment.

[0050] Figure 1 A flowchart of a vibration and temperature insensitive super-stable cavity construction method provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0051] As shown in Figure 1 A vibration and temperature insensitive super-stable cavity construction method comprises the following steps:

[0052] S1, establishing an initial super-stable cavity model based on preliminary model parameters.

[0053] S2, performing mechanical finite element simulation on the initial super-stable cavity model to establish a low-vibration-sensitivity super-stable cavity model.

[0054] S3, performing thermal finite element simulation on the low-vibration-sensitivity super-stable cavity model, determining the required compensation ring parameters according to different target zero-expansion temperature points, and constructing a zero-expansion-point-adjustable super-stable cavity model.

[0055] S4, after the obtained zero-expansion-point-adjustable super-stable cavity model is sequentially verified and adjusted through mechanical finite element simulation and thermal finite element simulation, constructing a fixed clamping support structure of the super-stable cavity model.

[0056] S5, after the constructed support structure is verified and adjusted through mechanical finite element simulation, generating a target super-stable cavity.

[0057] In view of the practical defects of the existing laboratory super-stable cavity, for example, the laboratory super-stable cavity is installed by relying on its own gravity in a non-fastening manner, has fewer applicable scenarios, and needs to use a completely fixed support structure for portable super-stable cavities, and the existing super-stable cavities usually do not have a fixed support structure, the volume and power consumption of the temperature control system are greatly limited in portable environments and space application environments. The embodiments of the present application provide a vibration and temperature insensitive super-stable cavity construction method, which obtains a super-stable cavity with low vibration sensitivity and adjustable zero expansion point based on mechanical and thermal finite element simulation.

[0058] Through the early thermal finite element simulation calculation of a plurality of shape models, a cavity with the largest adjustable range of zero expansion point is selected as an initial super stable cavity model; after the initial setting of the parameters of the super stable cavity, the vibration sensitivity of about 10 -10 / g level is obtained through the mechanical finite element simulation, and the size of the compensation ring required for different target zero expansion temperature points is calculated in the simulation model, and the shape design of the super stable cavity without a supporting structure is obtained through the iterative calculation of the thermal finite element simulation and the mechanical finite element simulation, and the fixed clamping supporting structure design is obtained through the mechanical finite element simulation calculation according to the shape design of the super stable cavity.

[0059] Optionally, step S1 specifically comprises:

[0060] S11, the preliminary model parameters are obtained according to the investigation data, the preliminary thermal simulation and the cavity length calculation.

[0061] S12, any one of a square cavity, a spherical cavity, a conical cavity and a double tetrahedron cavity is selected as the cavity shape in the initial model, and the initial super stable cavity model is established in combination with the preliminary model parameters.

[0062] The preliminary model parameters are established through the preliminary investigation and the cavity length calculation; then a plurality of shape models are calculated through the early thermal finite element simulation, such as a square cavity, a spherical cavity, a conical cavity, a double tetrahedron cavity and the like, and the adjustable range of the zero expansion point of the conical cavity is larger than that of other shape cavities, and the conical cavity is selected as the initial model, and the initial super stable cavity model is constructed according to the parameters of the preliminary model.

[0063] In the actual use of the super stable cavity, vibration will affect the equivalent cavity length of the super stable cavity and further cause the jitter of the super stable laser frequency, and the vibration noise can be suppressed by reducing the environmental vibration or reducing the vibration sensitivity of the super stable cavity. Since the environment of the portable super stable cavity is relatively harsh, the vibration sensitivity of the super stable cavity needs to be reduced by calculating the cavity supporting structure, the cavity parameters and the cavity supporting position through the mechanical finite element simulation.

[0064] Optionally, step S2 specifically comprises:

[0065] S21, the corresponding material properties are given to the materials of each part of the initial super stable cavity model.

[0066] Firstly, the file of the initial super stable cavity model is imported, and the material properties of the model are given, specifically including the material parameters such as the density, Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus of each component of the initial super stable cavity model.

[0067] S22, a mechanical physical field is constructed, a grid conforming to the initial super stable cavity model is selected, and a model grid is constructed.

[0068] Mechanical physics field is constructed, and the thickness of the grid is reasonably selected according to the actual required accuracy and the computing capacity, and the coarse, refined, particularly refined or extremely refined grid is selected, so as to construct a suitable model grid.

[0069] S23, parameterize scanning all parameters in the initial super stable cavity model, simulate the parameters according to the order of influence on vibration sensitivity, and obtain the minimum solution of the displacement corresponding to each parameter.

[0070] As shown in the formula (1), the initial super stable cavity model includes 12 components (101 to 112), and all parameters include the thickness, radius, distance from the cavity center and other parameters of the 12 components. Figure 2 All parameters in the model are parameterized and scanned, the influence of each parameter on the vibration sensitivity is summarized, the parameter with the greatest influence on the vibration sensitivity in the above process is obtained, and the parameter is taken as the main simulation point.

[0071] S24, obtain the parameter size of the super stable cavity model with low vibration sensitivity, and construct the super stable cavity model with low vibration sensitivity.

[0072] After obtaining the parameter size with the minimum displacement, the parameter size of the super stable cavity with low vibration sensitivity is obtained, and the super stable cavity with vibration sensitivity of about 10 -10 / g level is obtained through mechanical finite element simulation.

[0073] Environmental temperature fluctuation can cause cavity length jitter of the super stable cavity through thermal expansion, thereby affecting the frequency stability of the super stable laser. The cavity length jitter caused by temperature fluctuation can be suppressed by improving the environmental temperature stability or precisely controlling the temperature to the zero expansion temperature point of the super stable cavity. In the prior art, the zero expansion temperature point is roughly adjusted by a compensation ring, and the super stable cavity is precisely controlled at the zero expansion temperature point by a multi-layer temperature control system. If the zero expansion temperature point of the super stable cavity is consistent with or close to the environmental temperature, the power consumption of the temperature control system will be greatly reduced. To this end, the present application proposes to construct a super stable cavity with adjustable zero expansion point through thermal finite element simulation, thereby reducing the temperature control system, thereby reducing the volume, weight and power consumption of the device.

[0074] Optionally, step S3 specifically comprises:

[0075] S31, the material of each part of the super stable cavity model with low vibration sensitivity is endowed with corresponding material properties.

The material property parameters are obtained from international publications.

[0078] S32, constructing a thermal physical field, selecting a grid of the low-vibration-sensitivity super-stable cavity model, and constructing a model grid.

[0079] The thermal physical field is established, the solid mechanics module is selected, the thermal expansion unit is selected separately for parts with different material properties, and the coarse, fine, special fine or extreme fine grid is selected according to the actual required precision and running condition to construct the model grid.

[0080] S33, parameterizing scanning the thickness and inner diameter of the compensation ring in the low-vibration-sensitivity super-stable cavity model, and calculating the target zero-expansion point temperature according to the target environment temperature.

[0081] S34, obtaining the compensation ring size corresponding to the target zero-expansion point temperature, and constructing a zero-expansion point adjustable super-stable cavity model according to the obtained compensation ring size.

[0082] As shown in Figure 2 , the compensation ring is arranged at both ends of the cavity; the thickness and inner diameter of the compensation ring in the super-stable cavity model are parameterized scanned; the target environment temperature is determined according to the environment temperature of the super-stable cavity, and the target zero-expansion point temperature is calculated; then the compensation ring size corresponding to different zero-expansion points is calculated according to the target zero-expansion point temperature; the compensation ring size corresponding to different zero-expansion points is summarized; and the zero-expansion point adjustable super-stable cavity can be obtained by replacing the compensation ring with different sizes.

[0083] Optionally, step S4 specifically includes:

[0084] S41, the obtained zero-expansion point adjustable super-stable cavity model is subjected to repeated iteration calculation of mechanical finite element simulation and thermal finite element simulation in turn, the parameters are adjusted to be within a preset range, and a corrected zero-expansion point adjustable super-stable cavity model is generated.

[0085] After the mechanical finite element simulation and the thermal finite element simulation, the zero-expansion-point adjustable super-stable cavity model is obtained, and since the model parameters need to be adjusted during the thermal finite element simulation, in order to ensure that the obtained zero-expansion-point adjustable super-stable cavity model also meets the requirement of low vibration sensitivity, the model is subjected to mechanical finite element simulation calculation again; if the parameters are all within the preset range, that is, the vibration sensitivity meets the design requirement, the obtained zero-expansion-point adjustable super-stable cavity model does not need to be corrected; if the parameters exceed the preset range, that is, the vibration sensitivity does not meet the design requirement, the mechanical finite element simulation and the thermal finite element simulation are performed again, the related parameters are adjusted, and iterative calculation is repeatedly performed until the vibration sensitivity meets the requirement and the zero-expansion-temperature-point adjustable super-stable cavity is obtained.

[0086] In S42, six support columns are set, the corrected super-stable cavity model is subjected to mechanical finite element simulation, and the parameters of the support columns are calculated.

[0087] In S43, a super-stable cavity fixed clamping support structure is constructed according to the parameters of the support columns.

[0088] According to the structure schematic diagram of the super-stable cavity of Figure 2 and Figure 3 , six support columns 401 are uniformly spaced at an interval of 60°, six through holes are uniformly distributed on the super-stable cavity support ring, the length of the support column is assigned a fixed value due to the limitation of the vacuum chamber of the installation cavity, the diameter of the support column is variable, the support column 401 passes through the connection through hole 112 of the super-stable cavity support ring, and the size of the support column is calculated according to the super-stable cavity mechanical finite element simulation, so that the overall vibration sensitivity of the super-stable cavity with the support column is the lowest, and the zero-expansion-temperature-point is not affected since the structure of the super-stable cavity itself is not changed.

[0089] The super-stable cavity construction method provided in the embodiments of the present application can quickly and efficiently design a super-stable cavity with low vibration sensitivity and adjustable zero-expansion-point, and the constructed super-stable cavity has the advantages of being insensitive to vibration and temperature; and the fixed clamping support design can be widely used in non-laboratory environments, for example, a mobile super-stable cavity can be made, and for different use scenarios, the corresponding zero-expansion-point adjustable super-stable cavity can be constructed according to the required temperature.
