Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of laser technology, and in particular relates to a multi-wavelength Michelson laser based on a mixed atomic ensemble. Background Art
[0002] As one of the seven fundamental physical quantities established by the General Conference on Metrology (CGPM), the high-precision measurement of length serves many fields such as ultra-precision machining and manufacturing, precision metrology and testing, and cutting-edge science and engineering. Ultra-precision equipment represented by lithography machines and high-end CNC machine tools have put forward higher requirements on the measurement accuracy of displacement measurement systems. Traditional mechanical measuring tools, such as vernier calipers and micrometers, can achieve micron-level measurement accuracy; grating rulers use the moiré fringes of gratings, and their displacement measurement accuracy is usually in the sub-micron level; optical interferometers based on the interference principle have a resolution of up to λ / 2, where λ is the laser wavelength, and nanometer-level measurement accuracy can be achieved with the help of electronic subdivision technology. With the development of new atomic clock technology, the current measurement accuracy of frequency has exceeded 10 -19 If the effective conversion from displacement measurement to frequency measurement can be achieved, the accuracy of displacement measurement can be greatly improved in theory.
[0003] Patent ZL202210393703.X proposes a Michelson laser that uses a single laser gain medium to provide gain for the laser oscillations of two resonant cavities (reference arm and measurement arm) at the same time. The displacement to be measured is derived from the frequency difference change of the beat frequency of the two common gain but different resonant laser modes, which can theoretically achieve a measurement accuracy of picometers or even sub-picometers. Patent ZL202410428008.1 proposes a Faraday-Michelson laser. This structure combines the frequency selection mechanism of the Faraday anomalous dispersion atomic filter on the basis of the Michelson laser, which can increase the frequency difference between the two resonant cavities and reduce the competition between laser modes. However, the above-mentioned Michelson laser is a single-frequency laser inside each resonant cavity, lacking a calibration reference for the cavity length. Affected by complex environmental changes such as mechanical vibration and temperature fluctuations, the cavity lengths of the two resonant cavities of the above-mentioned Michelson laser drift to varying degrees. This unexpected fluctuation in the cavity length directly affects the accuracy of the displacement to be measured, causing the measurement results to be submerged in the residual noise, losing its high-precision advantage in principle. The use of vacuum vibration reduction and thermal insulation technology can suppress the interference of external environmental changes on the stability of cavity length to a certain extent, but the system volume is large; the use of materials such as ultra-low expansion glass (ULE) can reduce the drift rate of cavity length, but the cost is high and the processing difficulty is greater, which limits the application and promotion of this technology. Summary of the invention
[0004] In order to overcome the influence of cavity length drift caused by environmental interference on the displacement measurement accuracy and give full play to the principle advantage of Michelson laser in high-precision displacement measurement, the present invention proposes a multi-wavelength Michelson laser based on a hybrid atomic ensemble, which utilizes the quantum transition effect of the hybrid atomic ensemble to simultaneously generate two-color lasers in the reference arm and the measurement arm, and relies on the characteristics of the two-color laser co-gain co-resonance cavity to achieve active calibration of the cavity length and accurate measurement of the displacement to be measured, and can suppress residual noise under complex background interference to achieve high-precision displacement measurement.
