They are currently the core sensors used in moving platform magnetic anomaly detection equipment, and cesium atomic magnetometers are the most widely used. Existing cesium atomic lamp technology is usually open-loop control, and there is a problem of stability that needs to be improved. In addition, the Q value of the absorption chamber in the cesium atomic magnetometer is low, which restricts the further improvement of the sensitivity of the cesium atomic magnetometer. In addition, since the chemical properties of the cesium element in the cesium atomic absorption chamber are very active, when the cesium atomic absorption chamber is working, it will cause the slow consumption of the cesium element, thereby affecting the service life of the cesium atomic absorption chamber, and then affecting the performance and life of the magnetometer. Summary of the invention

The expression "expert decision-making" here refers to the activity of making decisions by people who specialize in a certain field, have specialized experience, knowledge and skills, and have reached a certain level of professionalism.

[0027] In the process of implementing the present invention, it is found that an atomic magnetometer usually mainly includes a pump light source, an atomic absorption chamber and a photodetector, among which the pump light source and the atomic absorption chamber are the two core components of the atomic magnetometer, which fundamentally determine the sensitivity and life of the magnetometer.

[0028] The pump light source usually adopts cesium atomic lamp or semiconductor stabilized frequency laser source, but the latter cannot meet the field engineering application with a wide temperature range. Therefore, it is more common to use cesium atomic lamp as the pump light source. However, unlike the closed-loop control of laser, the existing cesium atomic lamp technology is usually open-loop control, and there is a stability problem that needs to be improved.

[0029] Existing cesium atomic magnetometers used in geomagnetic environments usually use inert gases (such as helium, neon, argon, etc.) or nitrogen as a single gas to control the spin exchange rate of cesium atoms. Affected by gas collision broadening or photon radiation traps, their Q value is low, which restricts the further improvement of the sensitivity of cesium atomic magnetometers.

[0030] The chemical properties of the alkali metal element in the atomic absorption chamber are very active. When the atomic absorption chamber is working, under the action of temperature and electric field, the cesium element in the form of saturated vapor will continuously diffuse into the glass wall of the gas chamber, causing the slow consumption of the cesium element, thereby affecting the service life of the cesium gas chamber and further affecting the performance and life of the entire sensor.

[0031] Based on the above, the existing technology has problems such as stability caused by open-loop control of the pump lamp of the cesium atomic magnetometer, too low Q value of the absorption chamber based on buffer gas, and short life of the atomic absorption chamber, which restrict the further improvement of the sensitivity of the cesium atomic magnetometer.

[0032] In addition, the pump light source used for the high-sensitivity cesium atomic magnetometer should have the characteristics of low noise, high stability, long life and no magnetic interference; the cesium atomic absorption chamber is the magnetic sensitive unit of the atomic magnetometer, and should have the characteristics of low spin exchange rate and long life. The lower the spin exchange rate of the absorption chamber, the higher its Q value, and the narrower the magnetic resonance line width of the absorption chamber, which is more conducive to improving the sensitivity of the magnetometer. To this end, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for implementing a cesium atomic magnetometer system based on double closed-loop feedback control.

[0033] Figure 1 An application scenario diagram of a method for implementing a cesium atomic magnetometer system based on double closed-loop feedback control according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the application scenario 100 according to this embodiment may include a probe 110 and an electronics unit 120. The probe 110 may include a cesium atomic lamp 111, a cesium atomic absorption chamber 112, and a non-magnetic photodetector 113; the electronics unit 120 may include a signal processing circuit 121, a dual closed-loop radio frequency excitation circuit 122, a temperature control module 123, and a power management module 124.

[0035] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a first closed-loop channel according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0036] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the dual closed-loop RF excitation circuit 122 may include: Figure 2 A first closed-loop channel 200 is shown.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the first closed-loop channel 200 includes a first thermistor 211 , a second thermistor 221 , a first resistor voltage divider network 212 , a second resistor voltage divider network 222 , a voltage controlled oscillator 213 and a radio frequency power amplifier 223 .

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first thermistor 211 is connected in parallel with the first resistor voltage divider network 212, and the first thermistor 211 is used to control the voltage across the first resistor voltage divider network 212 based on the ambient temperature, so as to control the output frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator 213 based on the voltage across the first resistor voltage divider network 212, wherein the output frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator 213 increases with the decrease of the resistor voltage divider.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second thermistor 221 is connected in parallel with the second resistor voltage divider network 222, and the second thermistor 221 is used to control the voltage across the second resistor voltage divider network 222 based on the ambient temperature, so as to control the output power of the RF power amplifier 223 based on the voltage across the second resistor voltage divider network 222, wherein the output power of the RF power amplifier 223 decreases as the resistor voltage divider decreases.

[0040] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the voltage-controlled oscillator 213 is used to output a signal of a preset frequency to the RF power amplifier 223, and utilize the RF power amplifier 223 to inject the energy of the preset frequency and power output by the RF power amplifier 223 into the cesium bulb of the cesium atomic lamp 111 to light the cesium bulb, and achieve stable output of the RF power amplifier by temperature compensation of the frequency and power output by the RF power amplifier.

[0041] The following will be based on Figure 1 The scene described by Figure 2~Figure 10 The implementation method of the cesium atomic magnetometer system based on double closed-loop feedback control in an embodiment of the present invention is described in detail.

[0042] Figure 3 The flowchart of the implementation method of the cesium atomic magnetometer system based on double closed-loop feedback control according to the embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0043] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cesium atomic magnetometer system may include a cesium atomic lamp 111 and a dual closed-loop RF excitation circuit 122, the dual closed-loop RF excitation circuit 122 includes a first closed-loop channel 200, the first closed-loop channel may include a first thermistor, a second thermistor, a first resistor voltage divider network, a second resistor voltage divider network, a voltage-controlled oscillator and a RF power amplifier, and the structure of the first closed-loop channel is as follows: Figure 2 shown.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the method 300 includes operations S310 to S350.

[0045] In operation S310 , a voltage across a first resistor voltage divider network is controlled based on an ambient temperature using a first thermistor.

[0046] The first thermistor is connected in parallel with the first resistor voltage divider network.

[0047] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first thermistor is connected in parallel with the first resistor voltage divider network, and based on the ambient temperature, the first thermistor can control the voltage across the first resistor voltage divider network.

[0048] For example, when the current ambient temperature changes and the resistance value of the first thermistor decreases, the voltage across the first resistor voltage divider network also decreases, that is, the resistor voltage of the first thermistor decreases.

[0049] In operation S320 , the output frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator is controlled based on the voltage across the first resistor divider network by using the first resistor divider network.

[0050] Among them, the output frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator increases as the resistance voltage divider decreases.

[0051] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first resistor voltage divider network is also used to control the output frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator. When the voltage across the first resistor voltage divider network decreases, the output frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator increases.

[0052] In operation S330 , a voltage across a second resistor divider network is controlled based on an ambient temperature using a second thermistor.

[0053] The second thermistor is connected in parallel with the second resistor voltage divider network, and both the first thermistor and the second thermistor are negative temperature coefficient thermistors.

[0054] According to an embodiment of the present invention, both the first thermistor and the second thermistor are negative temperature coefficient thermistors, that is, when the ambient temperature increases, the resistance values ​​of the first thermistor and the second thermistor decrease.

[0055] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second thermistor is connected in parallel with the second resistor voltage divider network, and based on the ambient temperature, the second thermistor can control the voltage across the second resistor voltage divider network.

[0056] For example, when the current ambient temperature increases, the resistance of the second thermistor decreases, and the voltage across the second resistor voltage divider network also decreases, that is, the resistor voltage divider of the second thermistor decreases.

[0057] In operation S340, the output power of the radio frequency power amplifier is controlled based on the voltage across the second resistor divider network by using the second resistor divider network.

[0058] Among them, the output power of the RF power amplifier decreases as the resistance voltage decreases.

[0059] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second resistor voltage divider network is also used to control the output power of the RF power amplifier. When the voltage across the second resistor voltage divider network decreases, the output power of the RF power amplifier decreases.

[0060] In operation S350, a voltage-controlled oscillator is used to output a signal of a preset frequency to a radio frequency power amplifier, and the radio frequency power amplifier is used to inject energy of the preset frequency and power output by the radio frequency power amplifier into the cesium bulb of the cesium atomic lamp to light the cesium bulb, and by temperature compensation of the frequency and power output by the radio frequency power amplifier, a stable output of the radio frequency power amplifier is achieved.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the voltage-controlled oscillator outputs a signal of a preset frequency to the radio frequency power amplifier, so as to inject the energy of the preset frequency and power output by the radio frequency power amplifier into the cesium bulb of the cesium atomic lamp to light up the cesium bulb. The first closed-loop channel as a whole is equivalent to the excitation source of the cesium atomic lamp; the preset frequency and power represent the specific frequency and power that can light up the cesium bulb.

[0062] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the voltage-controlled oscillator has a temperature drift characteristic. The change of the ambient temperature will affect the output frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator. When the ambient temperature rises, the output frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator will decrease. Therefore, a first thermistor is introduced. When the ambient temperature rises, the voltage across the first resistor voltage divider network is controlled to decrease to control the output frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator to increase, that is, temperature feedback. Thus, the temperature compensation effect is achieved for the drift of the output frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator with temperature. When the ambient temperature decreases, the principle is the same.

[0063] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the RF power amplifier also has a temperature drift characteristic. The change of ambient temperature will affect the output power of the RF power amplifier. When the ambient temperature rises, the output power of the RF power amplifier will increase. Therefore, a second thermistor is introduced. When the ambient temperature rises, the voltage at both ends of the second resistor divider network is controlled to decrease to control the output power of the RF power amplifier to decrease, that is, temperature negative feedback, thereby achieving temperature compensation for the drift of the output power of the RF power amplifier with temperature. When the ambient temperature decreases, the principle is the same.

[0064] According to the embodiments of the present invention, since both the voltage-controlled oscillator and the RF power amplifier have temperature drift characteristics, when the ambient temperature rises, the output frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator should decrease. A first thermistor with a negative temperature coefficient is introduced to control the output frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator to increase as the resistance voltage divider decreases. The output power of the RF power amplifier should increase. A second thermistor with a negative temperature coefficient is introduced to control the output power of the RF power amplifier to decrease as the resistance voltage divider decreases. This provides temperature compensation for the frequency and power drift of the RF power amplifier output with temperature, thereby achieving stable output of the RF power amplifier and improving the stability of the RF power amplifier output.

[0065] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the dual closed-loop RF excitation circuit also includes a second closed-loop channel, which includes a cesium atomic lamp, a RF power amplifier and a photodetector. The implementation method of the above-mentioned cesium atomic magnetometer system based on dual closed-loop feedback control also includes: using a photodetector to monitor the power of light emitted by the cesium atomic lamp in real time, and feeding it back to the RF power amplifier, so as to adjust the output power of the RF power amplifier based on the power of light emitted by the cesium atomic lamp and the preset light power, so that the cesium atomic lamp can stably output light power.

[0066] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a dual closed-loop radio frequency excitation circuit according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0067] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the dual closed-loop RF excitation circuit 122 can be as follows: Figure 4 shown.

[0068] like Figure 4 As shown, the second closed-loop channel 400 may include a radio frequency power amplifier 223 , a cesium atomic lamp 111 and a photodetector 410 .

[0069] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the cesium bulb in the cesium atomic lamp 111 is lit through the above-mentioned first closed-loop channel 200, the photodetector 410 can monitor the power of the light emitted by the cesium atomic lamp in real time and feed it back to the RF power amplifier 223, that is, power feedback, so as to adjust the output power of the RF power amplifier 223 based on the power of the light emitted by the cesium atomic lamp and the preset optical power, so as to ensure that the cesium atomic lamp stably outputs optical power.

[0070] The preset optical power may represent the power value that the power of the light emitted by the cesium atomic lamp needs to maintain, and the preset optical power may be set as required.

[0071] For example, when the preset optical power is 5mW, the photodetector monitors that the power of the light emitted by the cesium atomic lamp is 4mW, which is then fed back to the RF power amplifier to adjust the output power of the RF power amplifier based on the difference between the preset optical power of 5mW and the power of 4mW of the light emitted by the cesium atomic lamp at this time, so that the cesium atomic lamp can stably output 5mW of optical power.

[0072] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cesium atomic lamp 111 is excited by an electrodeless discharge method, and the cesium atomic lamp 111 includes an excitation structure and a cesium bulb. The first closed-loop channel as an excitation source injects energy of a specific frequency and power into the cesium bulb to light up the cesium bulb. The excitation structure is used to excite the cesium bulb to achieve energy injection. The standing wave ratio of the excitation structure is less than 1.5 to ensure that most of the injected energy is converted into light; the impedance of the excitation structure is generally 50 ohms, which matches the impedance of the first closed-loop channel, such as the impedance of the excitation structure is equal to the impedance of the first closed-loop channel, to ensure that the energy output by the first closed-loop channel can be injected into the cesium bulb; the resonant frequency of the excitation structure is consistent with the output frequency of the first closed-loop channel, which also ensures that the energy output by the first closed-loop channel can be injected into the cesium bulb.

[0073] Among them, cesium bulbs can be used as cesium atomic lamp loads. Cesium bulbs are made of alkali-resistant glass, and the inner cavity is filled with a small amount of high-purity alkali metal cesium elemental substance ( ) and a specific pressure of inert gas xenon. For example, the diameter of a cesium bulb can be 8mm, and the inner cavity is filled with 5Torr (pressure unit, Torr) of xenon and an appropriate amount of alkali metal cesium.

[0074] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the ambient temperature is low, the output power of the RF power amplifier can be increased due to the second thermistor with a negative temperature coefficient, which is conducive to the cesium bulb to light up quickly and enter a stable state.

[0075] According to an embodiment of the present invention, based on the second closed-loop channel, the power of the light emitted by the cesium atomic lamp is monitored in real time and power feedback is performed so that the cesium atomic lamp can stably output the optical power. Therefore, based on the dual closed-loop RF excitation circuit, the first closed-loop channel uses temperature feedback to achieve stable output of the excitation source, and the second closed-loop channel uses power feedback to achieve stable output of the optical power of the cesium bulb, which solves the problem of stability of the cesium atomic lamp controlled by conventional open-loop control and breaks through the photon shot noise limitation of the traditional open-loop technology system.

[0076] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cesium atomic magnetometer system also includes an optical component; the optical component includes a collimating lens, a filter and a combined circular polarizer; the implementation method of the above-mentioned cesium atomic magnetometer system based on double closed-loop feedback control also includes: using the collimating lens to collimate the light emitted by the cesium bulb and output the collimated light; using the filter to filter the collimated light and output light of the target wavelength; using the combined circular polarizer to polarize the light of the target wavelength and output circularly polarized pump light.

[0077] Figure 5 A schematic structural diagram of a probe in a cesium atomic magnetometer system according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0078] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the probe 110 can be more specifically as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0079] like Figure 5 As shown, the probe 110 further includes optical components between the cesium atomic absorption chamber 112 and the cesium atomic lamp 111 , namely, a collimating lens 511 , a filter 512 and a combined circular polarizer 513 .

[0080] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the RF power amplifier 223 can inject the energy of the output specific frequency and power into the cesium bulb in the cesium atomic lamp 111 to light up the cesium bulb. The light emitted by the cesium bulb passes through the collimating lens 511, the filter 512 and the combined circular polarizer 513 in sequence.

[0081] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the collimating lens 511 can collimate the light emitted by the cesium bulb to obtain collimated light; the filter 512 can filter the collimated light to obtain light of a target wavelength, that is, the filter 512 is used to select light of a target wavelength and filter out stray light to improve the efficiency of the optical pump. The target wavelength can be the wavelength of the pump light required by the magnetometer, such as the target wavelength can be 894.5nm.

[0082] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the combined circular polarizer 513 is located at the rear end of the filter 512, and is used to convert light of the target wavelength into circularly polarized light, that is, to output circularly polarized pump light, wherein the combined circular polarizer 513 adopts a half left-handed and half right-handed combination design to minimize the directional error of the atomic magnetometer probe.

[0083] Among them, the focal length of the collimating lens 511 can be 25mm, and the bandwidth of the surface anti-reflection film can be 680~980nm; the diameter of the filter 512 can be 25mm, the transmission wavelength can be 894.5nm, the bandwidth can be 10nm, the passband transmittance is greater than 90%, the reflection wavelength is 200nm~1000nm, and the cut-off band transmittance is 0.1%.

[0084] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the light emitted by the cesium bulb includes not only the light of the desired target wavelength, but also other stray light, such as the light emitted by the gas filled in the cesium bulb. The transmission wavelength of the filter 512 is determined according to the target wavelength of the desired pump light, so as to transmit the light of the target wavelength and filter out the light of other wavelengths.

[0085] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the light emitted by the cesium bulb passes through a collimating lens, a filter and a combined circular polarizer in sequence, so that other stray light can be filtered out and only light of the target wavelength is retained. Half of the circularly polarized light is left-handed and half is right-handed after passing through the combined circular polarizer, so as to reduce the directional error of the magnetometer probe as much as possible.
