[0002] Since the 1980s, magneto-optical trap (MOT) technology has become a key player in the field of laser cooling, thanks to its exceptional cooling and atom-trapping capabilities. MOT technology can cool atoms to extremely low temperatures, near absolute zero, making it possible to explore the properties of matter at extremely low kinetic energy levels. To date, MOT technology has achieved remarkable success in laser cooling and atom trapping, and is widely used in cutting-edge technologies such as high-precision atomic clocks, quantum computers, quantum networks, and quantum memories.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0035] The related art proposes a new three-dimensional magneto-optical trap based on a metasurface, which uses a wave plate to divide a laser beam into multiple laser beams with controllable circular polarization states. 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 are intersected 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. Based on this, the present application provides an optomechanical device of a three-dimensional magneto-optical trap based on a metasurface chip, which realizes high integration of optical components, miniaturization of the system, and improves the control accuracy and flexibility of the optical path.
[0036] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[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, which includes: an optical fiber splitting module, a metasurface module and an atomic gas chamber 15; specifically:
[0039] The fiber beam splitting module includes a laser 1, a polarization-maintaining fiber coupler 2 with a one-to-two splitting function, a first fiber collimator 3, and a second fiber collimator 4. The model of the polarization-maintaining fiber coupler 2 is PMC-780-50-FA, and the models of the first and second fiber collimators 3 and 4 are 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 linearly polarized light, and input the first output light into the 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 the first fiber collimator 3 and the second fiber collimator 4 respectively to realize the conversion of the divergent second output light into a parallel third output light, and obtain the third output light 1 and the 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, ensure 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. The polarization-maintaining fiber coupler 2 is as shown Figure 3 shown.
[0041] The metasurface module includes several multifunctional metasurface chips manufactured using nano-processing technology. The metasurface core is composed of multiple nanostructure units. The function of the metasurface chip is determined based on the shape and phase of the nanostructure units and the spacing and arrangement between the nanostructure units.
[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. 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 beams of fourth outgoing light are divided into two beams of right-handed circularly polarized light and one beam of left-handed circularly polarized light. The angle between each beam of fourth outgoing light and its corresponding first-stage metasurface chip is 35°-40°, and the three beams of fourth outgoing light 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 outgoing light to obtain metasurface outgoing light, and converge the metasurface outgoing 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 entering the corresponding first-stage metasurface chip is 200μm. The second outgoing light propagates 20mm after passing through the first-stage metasurface chip. The third outgoing light reaches the second-stage metasurface chip with a diameter of 250μm. Subsequently, the second-stage metasurface chip expands the received fourth outgoing light from 250μm to a diameter of 5mm while maintaining the polarization state of the beam.
[0047] Furthermore, the first-stage first metasurface chip 5 is located on the left side of the atomic gas chamber, and the first-stage second metasurface chip 6 is located on the right side of the atomic gas chamber; the first-stage first metasurface chip 5 and the first-stage second metasurface 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 centers of the six second-stage metasurface chips and the center of the atomic gas chamber 15 is about 2 cm, and the plane of the second-stage metasurface chip is about 1 cm away from the surface of the atomic gas chamber 15; among them, the second-stage first metasurface chip 7 and the second-stage sixth metasurface 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 metasurface chip 8, the second-stage third metasurface chip 9, the second-stage fourth metasurface chip 10 and the second-stage fifth metasurface 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 atomic gas chamber 15 is made of quartz or borosilicate; the shape of the atomic gas chamber 15 is a hexagonal prism, an octagonal prism or a cylindrical structure; and the filling gas in the atomic gas chamber 15 is atomic vapor including cesium and rubidium.
[0050] Furthermore, the optical fiber splitting module further 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 for a three-dimensional magneto-optical trap based on a metasurface chip, which optimizes the optical path system of a traditional magneto-optical trap using a metasurface chip, thereby replacing traditional lenses and wave plates. Compared with existing solutions, the combination of the first-stage metasurface structure and the second-stage metasurface structure replaces the reflective lenses, further reducing the volume of the magneto-optical trap system and improving 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, while controlling the power ratio of the three beams to be 1:1:1. After passing through the first-stage metasurface structure, while keeping the polarization state of the light beam unchanged, the light beam is expanded and all the light beams are hit in the center of the gas chamber, achieving efficient cooling and trapping of atoms.
[0052] In an exemplary embodiment, the present application provides a three-dimensional magneto-optical trap system based on a metasurface chip, comprising the above-mentioned optical mechanical device of the three-dimensional magneto-optical trap based on a metasurface chip, a first magnetic coil 13 and a second magnetic coil 14; the first magnetic coil 13 and the second magnetic coil 14 are respectively located at the upper left and lower right of the atomic gas chamber; the first magnetic coil 13 and the second magnetic coil 14 have mirror symmetry with respect to the center point of the atomic gas chamber, and are greater than 2 cm away from the center point of the atomic gas chamber.
