Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cold atom interferometric inertial measurement technology, and in particular to a hollow-core optical fiber guided cold atom inertial measurement system and a use method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Atom interferometer is a precision measuring instrument based on the principle of matter wave interference. At present, atomic fountain clocks, atomic gravimeters, atomic gravity gradient meters, atomic interferometer gyroscopes, etc. have been realized one after another, showing ultra-high measurement accuracy, sensitivity and long-term stability. Among them, the typical atomic gravimeter uses a free fall method to release the prepared cold atomic group and perform beam splitting-reflection-combination operations on the atomic matter wave through the "π / 2-π-π / 2" Raman light pulse sequence, and the atomic internal state coherently superimposes to form atomic matter wave interference, thereby realizing the measurement of gravitational acceleration.
[0003] However, traditional free-space cold atom gravimeters have the following problems: since the atomic clusters will undergo thermal expansion during free fall, in order to reduce the impact of laser light intensity non-uniformity, a larger diameter laser beam is needed to interact with the atoms, which increases the volume and power consumption of the system while also limiting the accuracy of gravitational acceleration measurement; during dynamic measurements, due to the movement of the carrier relative to the atoms, it is impossible to ensure that the atomic clusters are always located in the center area of the laser, resulting in a decrease in measurement accuracy or even failure of the atomic interference mechanism; when measuring non-vertical gravitational acceleration components, since the direction of atomic free fall motion is inconsistent with the laser propagation direction, the movement of atoms in a direction perpendicular to the laser wave vector causes the required laser beam size and power to increase significantly, severely limiting the accuracy of the atomic gravimeter when performing vector measurements. Summary of the invention

[0041] It can be understood that the bias magnetic field coil assembly is used to define the quantization axis and simultaneously produce the splitting of the Zeeman energy level of the cold atoms in the optical fiber for conducting atomic state preparation experiments before interference;
[0042] Further, the atomic interference system includes Raman light coupled in the second optical fiber jumper 19, and the cold atomic group 17 in the optical fiber;
[0043] The atom detection system includes detection light, pump light and a photodetector; the detection light and pump light are coupled in the second optical fiber jumper 19, and the photodetector is used to detect the absorption of the detection light by atoms.
[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first collimated laser 3 passes through the laser coupling module 1, the vacuum chamber assembly, the cold atom group preparation module and the gravity acceleration measurement module to output the first guide light 29 coupled from top to bottom; the second collimated laser 21 passes through the laser coupling module 2 and the gravity acceleration measurement module to output the second guide light 30 coupled from bottom to top; Figure 3 As shown, the first guided light 29 and the second guided light 30 have opposite transmission directions, the same power, and their polarization states are both linear polarization and have the same polarization direction;
[0045] The second collimated laser includes a second guide light 30, a third Raman pulse laser 33, a fourth Raman pulse laser 34, a resonance detection light and a pumping light;
[0046] The first collimated laser 3 includes a first guide light.
[0047] The first guided light 29 and the second guided light 30 form a movable optical lattice;
[0048] Atoms are loaded into the optical lattice at the position of the cold atomic group 15 , and the transmission speed v of the atoms entering the hollow-core optical fiber is further controlled by scanning the detuning amount of the first guiding light 29 and the second guiding light 30 .
[0049] Furthermore, the second collimated laser 21 includes a third Raman pulse laser 33 and a fourth Raman pulse laser 34; the third Raman pulse laser 33 and the fourth Raman pulse laser 34 are coupled from bottom to top into the hollow core optical fiber 18;
[0050] It can be understood that the third Raman pulse laser 33 and the fourth Raman pulse laser 34 are a pair of linearly polarized lasers with a frequency difference of 6.834 GHz, and the switching timing of the Raman light in the second collimated laser 21 is precisely controlled to obtain a Raman laser pulse sequence of "π / 2-π-π / 2", and the time interval between adjacent Raman pulse lasers is T, which is called the free evolution time;

[0055] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for using a hollow-core fiber-guided cold atom inertial measurement system, comprising:
[0056] Step 1, providing room temperature atomic gas to the vacuum chamber assembly through the rubidium atomic source 25;
[0057] The third collimated laser 12-1, the fourth collimated laser 12-2 and the fifth collimated laser 12-3 are respectively obtained and reflected by the lens barrel assembly to obtain the first pair, the second pair and the third pair of circularly polarized cooling beams respectively;
[0058] A cold atomic cluster 15 is obtained based on the first, second and third pairs of circularly polarized cooling beams and the anti-Helmholtz coil group 13;
[0059] Preferably, the specific steps of obtaining the cold atomic radicals in step 1 include:
[0060] A rubidium atom source 25 is used to provide room temperature atomic gas to obtain a third collimated laser 12 - 1 , a fourth collimated laser 12 - 2 , and a fifth collimated laser 12 - 3 ;
[0061] The cooling lights in the third collimated laser 12-1, the fourth collimated laser 12-2 and the fifth collimated laser 12-3 are respectively passed through the first lens barrel 14-1, the second lens barrel 14-2 and the third lens barrel group 14-3 to obtain the first pair, the second pair and the third pair of circularly polarized cooling light beams with opposite transmission directions and orthogonal polarizations.
[0062] The three pairs of circularly polarized cooling beams slow down the room temperature atomic gas;
[0063] The anti-Helmholtz coil group 13 is energized to generate a quadrupole gradient magnetic field, which together with three pairs of circularly polarized cooling beams form a magneto-optical trap, and the decelerated room temperature atomic gas is trapped at the geometric center of the magneto-optical trap to obtain a cold atomic group 15 with a temperature of μK;
[0064] Step 2, obtaining the first guide light 29 and the second guide light 30 in the first collimated laser 3 and the second collimated laser 21;
[0065] The first guided light 29 and the second guided light 30 respectively pass through the laser coupling module 1 and the laser coupling module 2 and then couple into the hollow core optical fiber 18 through the corresponding glass windows to interfere and form an optical lattice;
[0066] Setting a transport speed; the cold atomic group 15 is loaded into the optical lattice and transmitted into the hollow-core optical fiber 18 at the transport speed to form a cold atomic group 17 in the optical fiber;
[0067] Preferably, the specific steps of transmitting into the hollow core optical fiber 18 at the transport speed in step 2 to form the cold atomic group 17 in the optical fiber include: simultaneously turning on the first guide light 29 in the first collimated laser 3 and the second guide light 30 in the second collimated laser 21, such as Figure 2 As shown;
[0068] The first guide light 29 is reflected by the first reflector 4-1 and the second reflector 4-2, and then transmitted to the first focusing lens 7 through the dichroic mirror 5 and the quarter wave plate 6 for focusing, and is coupled into the hollow core optical fiber 18 from top to bottom through the first glass window 8;
[0069] The second guide light 30 is reflected by the third reflector 22-1 and the fourth reflector 22-2, and then focused by the second focusing lens 23 and transmitted to the 1 / 2 wave plate 24, and coupled into the hollow core optical fiber 18 from bottom to top through the sixth glass window 28;
[0070] An optical lattice is formed by the interference of the first guided light 29 and the second guided light 30;
[0071] The cold atomic clusters are bound in the optical lattice formed by the two guiding lights and are transmitted into the hollow core optical fiber 18 at the transmission speed to form cold atomic clusters 17 in the optical fiber. Figure 3 shown.
[0072] Furthermore, the specific steps of adjusting the transport speed of the cold atomic groups include:
[0073] Gradually reduce and turn off the current of the third collimated laser 12 - 1 , the fourth collimated laser 12 - 2 , the fifth collimated laser 12 - 3 and the anti-Helmholtz coil assembly 13 ;
[0074] By scanning the AOM driving signal frequencies corresponding to the first guide light 29 and the second guide light 30, the frequency detuning amount Δf between the two guide light beams is controlled to adjust the transport speed of the cold atomic clusters after entering the optical lattice, and the cold atomic clusters are manipulated to perform accelerated, uniform, or decelerated transport.
[0075] Furthermore, the expression of the transport velocity is:
[0076] v=Δfλ L / 2
[0077] Where Δf is the frequency detuning of the two guiding laser beams, λ L is the wavelength of the guided light, and v is the transport velocity of the optical lattice.
[0078] Step 3, energizing the bias magnetic field coil assembly 16 to generate a bias magnetic field and define a quantization axis;
[0079] The bias magnetic field splits the |F=1> energy level of the cold atomic group 17 in the hollow core optical fiber into |F=1,m F =0, ±1> three Zeeman sub-levels, atoms are evenly distributed on the three Zeeman sub-levels, m F represents the magnetic quantum number, F represents the angular momentum quantum number, and is the hyperfine energy level structure of the atom;
[0080] Turn on the pumping light in the second collimated laser 21,
[0081] will be evenly distributed in |F=1,m F =0,±1> all the cold atoms in the state are pumped to the magnetically insensitive state|F=1,m F =0>, eliminating the atomic interference phase shift caused by the ambient magnetic field;
[0082] Then the pumping light is turned off to complete the atomic state preparation;
[0083] Step 4, turning off the first guide light 29 in the first collimated laser 3, and only using the second guide light 30 in the second collimated laser 21 to transversely bind the cold atomic group 17 in the optical fiber;
[0084] The cold atomic group 17 in the optical fiber is freely released along the optical fiber axis at an initial velocity v0;
[0085] The third Raman pulse laser 33 and the fourth Raman pulse light 34 in the second collimated laser 21 are turned on. The lasers are reflected by the third reflector 22-1 and the fourth reflector 22-2, and then focused to the lower end face of the hollow core optical fiber 18 by the second focusing lens 23, and coupled into the hollow core optical fiber 18 from bottom to top.
[0086] After being output from the upper end face of the hollow core optical fiber, it is collimated by the first focusing lens 7, transmitted to the dichroic mirror 5 through the 1 / 4 wave plate 6 for reflection, and then transmitted to the 1 / 4 wave plate 6 again to form the first Raman pulse laser 31 and the second Raman pulse laser 32 transmitted from top to bottom, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown; based on the first Raman pulse laser 31, the second Raman pulse laser 32, the third Raman pulse laser 33 and the fourth Raman pulse light 34, the opposite Raman light combination one and the opposite Raman light combination two are determined;
[0087] The first and second Raman light combinations act on the cold atomic group 17 in the optical fiber with a Raman pulse sequence of π / 2-π-π / 2 to perform atomic splitting, reflection, and beam combining operations, thereby realizing internal state interference of atoms in the two evolution paths;
[0088] The π / 2-π-π / 2 Raman pulse sequence includes a first group of π / 2 Raman pulse lasers, a second group of π Raman pulse lasers and a third group of π / 2 Raman pulse lasers;
[0089] Preferably, the specific steps of the atomic interference include:
[0090] At the initial moment, the atom is in the |F=1,p> state; where F represents the angular momentum quantum number, which is the hyperfine energy level structure of the atom, and p is the initial momentum of the atom;
[0091] After the π / 2 Raman pulse laser acts on the cold atomic group 17 in the optical fiber, the atomic matter wave is split, and the atoms are in the |F=1,p> state and The coherent superposition state of the state, and due to the two-photon recoil momentum The atoms in the coherent superposition state gradually separate in space and transmit along two paths; eff is the effective wave vector of the incident Raman light combination 1 and / or the incident Raman light combination 2, is the reduced Planck constant.
[0092] After a free evolution time T, the π Raman pulse laser pulse is used to act on the cold atomic group 17 in the optical fiber to achieve the inversion of the internal energy level of the atom and the transfer of the external momentum, that is, the atom in the |F=1,p> state transitions to state, and Then it transitions to the |F=1,p> state;
[0093] After a free evolution time T, it is in the state |F=1,p> and The atoms in the state gradually become bundled in space;
[0094] The third group of π / 2 Raman pulse laser acts on the cold atomic group 17 in the optical fiber, so that the |F=1,p> state and The atoms in the two internal states undergo another transition with a probability of half, and now half of the atoms in the two internal states come from two different evolutionary paths, ultimately achieving internal state interference of atoms.
[0095] Step 5, turn on the resonant detection light in the second collimated laser 21; the resonant detection light is output from the upper end face of the hollow core optical fiber 18, reflected by the dichroic mirror 5, returns to the second optical fiber collimator 20 along the original optical path, and is output by the second optical fiber jumper 19, and is transmitted to the photodetector through the specified spatial optical path for power detection, and then the second guide light 30 in the second collimated laser 21 is turned off, and the resonant detection light is turned off;
[0096] The internal state of the cold atomic group 17 in the hollow-core optical fiber after beam combination is detected by resonant detection light, and the probability of the atom being in the |F=2> state is obtained;
[0097] The gravitational acceleration component g along the optical fiber axis is obtained based on the probability calculation of atoms in the |F=2> state.
[0098] Preferably, the probability that the atom is in the |F=2> state is expressed as:
[0099]
[0100] Among them, k eff g 2 is the phase shift caused by the uniform gravitational acceleration component along the fiber axis, where k eff is the effective wave vector of the incident Raman light pulse combination, g is the gravitational acceleration component along the fiber axis, is the initial phase corresponding to the first group of π / 2 Raman pulse lasers, is the initial phase corresponding to the second group of π Raman pulse lasers, is the initial phase of the third group of π / 2 Raman pulse laser, P is the atomic transition probability, and T is the free evolution time.
[0101] After the present invention uses the optical lattice scheme to transport the cold atomic group 15 into the hollow core optical fiber, the uniform optical potential well constructed by the hollow core optical fiber can effectively limit the movement of the atomic group in the non-measurement direction. In addition to being sensitive to the component of gravitational acceleration in the axial direction of the optical fiber, it can also be sensitive to the component of the carrier inertial acceleration in the axial direction of the optical fiber.
[0102] The third object of the present invention is to provide an application of vector acceleration measurement, where the hollow-core fiber-guided cold atom inertial measurement system is used to construct a cold atom vector accelerometer to achieve inertial acceleration measurement.
[0103] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0104] (1) The hollow-core fiber-guided cold atom inertial measurement system of the present invention utilizes hollow-core fibers with high bandwidth, low loss, and large cores to ensure long-distance uniform transmission of laser modes, thereby achieving long-distance trapping or transmission of cold atom ensembles;
[0105] (2) The present invention applies a radial constraint force of the optical fiber to the atomic ensemble by guiding the light field, thereby suppressing its freedom of movement in the non-measurement direction, greatly reducing the sensitivity of the gravimeter to the thermal expansion of the atomic ensemble and the movement of the carrier, and improving the measurement capability of the inertial measurement system in dynamic measurement scenarios;
[0106] (3) In the present invention, the atomic ensemble is constrained by the guided light in the direction of the non-gravity sensitive axis, but its movement in the axial direction of the optical fiber is not affected. By changing the direction of the optical fiber axis, the measurement of the gravity component in any vector direction can be achieved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0200] At the initial moment, the atom is in the |F=1,p> state, where F represents the angular momentum quantum number, which is the hyperfine energy level structure of the atom, and p is the initial momentum of the atom.
[0201] After the π / 2 Raman pulse laser acts on the cold atomic group 17 in the optical fiber, the atomic matter wave is split, and the atoms are in the |F=1,p> state and The coherent superposition state of the state; where k eff is the effective wave vector of the incident Raman light combination 1 or the incident Raman light combination 2, is the reduced Planck constant.
[0202] After the free evolution time T, the π Raman pulse laser is used to act on the cold atomic group 17 in the optical fiber to achieve the internal energy level reversal and external momentum transfer of the atoms, that is, the atoms in the |F=1,p> state transition to state, and Then it transitions to the |F=1,p> state;

[0206] The internal state of the cold atomic group 17 in the hollow-core optical fiber after beam combination is detected by resonant detection light, and the probability of the atom being in the |F=2> state is obtained;
[0207] The gravitational acceleration component g along the optical fiber axis is obtained based on the probability calculation of atoms in the |F=2> state.
[0208] Preferably, the expression for the probability of being in the |F=2> state is:
[0209]
[0210] Among them, k eff g 2 is the phase shift caused by the uniform gravitational acceleration component along the fiber axis, where k eff is the effective wave vector of the incident Raman light pulse combination, g is the gravitational acceleration component along the fiber axis, is the initial phase corresponding to the first group of π / 2 Raman pulse lasers, is the initial phase corresponding to the second group of π Raman pulse lasers, is the initial phase of the third group of π / 2 Raman pulse laser, P is the atomic transition probability, and T is the free evolution time.

In addition to being sensitive to the component of gravitational acceleration in the axial direction of the optical fiber, it can also be sensitive to the component of the carrier inertial acceleration in the axial direction of the optical fiber.
