DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application.

[0035] The related art proposes a new three-dimensional magneto-optical trap based on a metasurface, which divides a laser beam into multiple laser beams with controllable circular polarization states through wave plates. These beams have the same intensity and circular polarization, one of which propagates along the incident direction, while the remaining four beams are deflected 22.5° along the ±x and ±y axes relative to the incident beam. Through five mirrors, the five beams intersect at the center of the magnetic field to achieve three-dimensional cooling and capture. The related art still requires a large number of traditional wave plates to adjust the optical path, and the adjustment and control of the light beam is not precise enough, and the volume is still large.

[0037] Example 1
[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, an optomechanical device of a three-dimensional magneto-optical trap based on a metasurface chip is provided, the device comprising: an optical fiber splitting module, a metasurface module and an atomic gas chamber 15; specifically:
[0039] The optical fiber splitting module includes a laser 1, a polarization-maintaining optical fiber coupler 2 with a one-to-two splitting function, a first optical fiber collimator 3, and a second optical fiber collimator 4. The model of the polarization-maintaining optical fiber coupler 2 is PMC-780-50-FA, and the model of the first optical fiber collimator 3 and the second optical fiber collimator 4 is AFC780-2.2-PC.
[0040] The laser 1 has frequency stabilization and frequency locking functions, and the first optical frequency of the laser 1 is an optical frequency related to at least one atomic transition; the laser 1 is used to output a first output light, which is usually a linearly polarized light, and the first output light is input to a polarization-maintaining fiber coupler 2; the polarization-maintaining fiber coupler 2 is used to split the first output light according to a coupling ratio of 50:50 to form two beams of second output light, which pass through a first fiber collimator 3 and a second fiber collimator 4 respectively, so as to convert the divergent second output light into a parallel third output light, and obtain a third output light 1 and a third output light 2, and guide the third output light 1 to the first-stage first metasurface chip 5, and guide the third output light 2 to the first-stage second metasurface chip 6; at the same time, it is ensured that the polarization state does not change after passing through the polarization-maintaining fiber coupler 2, that is, the polarization state of the second output light is still linearly polarized light.

[0042] Furthermore, the metasurface module includes a first-stage metasurface structure and a second-stage metasurface structure.
[0043] The first-stage metasurface structure includes two first-stage metasurface chips with beam splitting and polarization conversion functions; each first-stage metasurface chip is used to perform polarization conversion and beam splitting operations on a beam of third output light to form three beams of fourth output light, and the power of the three beams of fourth output light after beam splitting by the first-stage metasurface chip is equal, and each beam of fourth output light is incident on a second-stage metasurface chip; wherein, Figure 4 As shown, the three fourth outgoing light beams are divided into two right-handed circularly polarized light beams and one left-handed circularly polarized light beam, the angle between each fourth outgoing light beam and its corresponding first-stage metasurface chip is 35°-40°, and the three fourth outgoing light beams are perpendicular to each other.
[0044] The second-stage metasurface structure includes six second-stage metasurface chips with polarization-maintaining and beam-expanding functions; the second-stage metasurface chip is used to perform polarization-maintaining and beam-expanding operations on the fourth output light to obtain metasurface output light, and converge the metasurface output light at the center of the atomic gas chamber to form an area for cooling and trapping atoms; through the coordinated action of the six second-stage metasurface chips, effective cooling and trapping of atoms can be achieved.
[0045] The atomic gas cell 15 is used to cool and trap atoms through the light emitted from the metasurface.
[0046] Furthermore, the diameter of the third outgoing light incident on the corresponding first-stage metasurface chip is 200μm, and the second outgoing light propagates 20mm after passing through the first-stage metasurface chip. The diameter of the third outgoing light reaching the second-stage metasurface chip is 250μm. Subsequently, the second-stage metasurface chip expands the received fourth outgoing light from 250μm to a diameter of 5mm while keeping the polarization state of the light beam unchanged.
[0047] Furthermore, the first-stage first supersurface chip 5 is located on the left side of the atomic gas chamber, and the first-stage second supersurface chip 6 is located on the right side of the atomic gas chamber; the first-stage first supersurface chip 5 and the first-stage second supersurface chip 6 are mirror-symmetrically arranged about the center point of the atomic gas chamber, and are respectively arranged parallel to the left and right surfaces of the atomic gas chamber 15.
[0048] Furthermore, the straight-line transmission distance between the center of the six second-stage supersurface chips and the center of the atomic gas chamber 15 is about 2 cm, and the plane of the second-stage supersurface chip is about 1 cm away from the surface of the atomic gas chamber 15; among them, the second-stage first supersurface chip 7 and the second-stage sixth supersurface chip 12 are respectively located at the upper left and lower right of the atomic gas chamber 15, and are arranged parallel to the upper and lower surfaces of the atomic gas chamber 15; the second-stage second supersurface chip 8, the second-stage third supersurface chip 9, the second-stage fourth supersurface chip 10 and the second-stage fifth supersurface chip 11 are respectively located at the lower left front, lower left rear, lower right front and lower right rear of the atomic gas chamber 15, and are arranged parallel to the front and rear surfaces of the atomic gas chamber.
[0049] Furthermore, the material of the atomic gas chamber 15 is quartz or high borosilicate; the shape of the atomic gas chamber 15 is a hexagonal prism, an octagonal prism or a cylindrical structure; the filling gas in the atomic gas chamber 15 is atomic vapor including cesium and rubidium.
[0050] Furthermore, the optical fiber splitting module also includes an optical fiber array, and the optical fiber array is used to input the first output light into the polarization-maintaining optical fiber coupler.
[0051] The present application proposes an optomechanical device of a three-dimensional magneto-optical trap based on a metasurface chip, which optimizes the optical path system of a traditional magneto-optical trap by using a metasurface chip, thereby replacing traditional lenses and wave plates. Compared with the existing scheme, the combination of the first-stage metasurface structure and the second-stage metasurface structure replaces the reflective lenses, further reduces the volume of the magneto-optical trap system, and improves the integration of the magneto-optical trap system. Moreover, by using the first-stage metasurface structure, the incident linearly polarized light of the laser needs to be divided into two beams of right-handed circularly polarized light and one beam of left-handed circularly polarized light, and the power ratio of the three beams is controlled to be 1:1:1. After the first-stage metasurface structure, the light beam is expanded while keeping the polarization state of the light beam unchanged, and the light beams are all hit in the center of the gas chamber, realizing efficient cooling and trapping of atoms.
