Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of atomic gravimeters, and more specifically, to a gravity measurement method and a measurement device of a diatomic interferometer. Background Art
[0002] Atom interferometry uses lasers or microwaves to manipulate the splitting and convergence of atomic matter wave packets. Atoms passing through different paths experience different physical fields, which enables precise measurement of physical quantities. Usually, the atomic interference path is a closed loop, and it is difficult to achieve stable interference phase and high-precision measurement if the path is open.
[0003] One of the important applications of atom interferometer is to measure gravitational acceleration with high precision. Atoms fall freely in the gravitational field, and the atomic group is divided into two parts by the frequency resonant laser. The two atomic groups act as two paths of the interferometer. The potential energy through the gravitational field is different. Finally, the two paths will merge and interfere under the action of the laser. In the final interference phase, there is a phase contributed by gravitational acceleration. By extracting the phase, accurate measurement of gravitational acceleration can be achieved.
[0004] Gravity measurement is of great significance in resource exploration, earthquake prevention and disaster reduction, geophysical research, and military fields. In recent years, high-precision static atomic gravimeters have gradually moved from prototypes to practical applications and achieved product sales. However, dynamic atomic gravimeters are still in the prototype stage and have low measurement accuracy. This is because on a dynamic platform, the atomic interferometer path cannot be closed due to interference from the platform's attached speed and the complex and changing environment on the atomic interferometer measurement signal, which greatly reduces the measurement accuracy of the atomic gravimeter and limits the use of the atomic gravimeter on a dynamic platform. Summary of the invention

[0050] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, the technical features in the various embodiments or single embodiments provided by the present invention can be arbitrarily combined with each other to form a feasible technical solution. This combination is not subject to the constraints of the sequence of steps and / or the structural composition mode, but must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to achieve. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be achieved, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
[0051] Figure 1 A flow chart of a gravity measurement method of a diatomic interferometer provided by the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:
[0052] Step 1: After the initial atomic cluster is cooled and prepared in the initial state, it begins to fall freely in the gravity field of the vacuum cavity, and the initial atomic cluster is divided into a first atomic cluster and a second atomic cluster by a splitting laser.
[0053] It is understandable that, first, the atomic group completes cooling and initial state preparation in the vacuum cavity 1. Specifically, the vacuum cavity 1 uses ion pumps and getter pumps to maintain the vacuum degree below 1×10-8Pa. After the atomic group completes cooling and trapping in the magneto-optical trap, it is necessary to use polarization gradient cooling, Raman sideband cooling or evaporative cooling to further reduce the temperature of the atomic group to below 2μK. Then the atomic group uses microwave state selection and Raman state selection to prepare the initial state, and the atoms are prepared to a single magnetically insensitive state before they can interact with the subsequent split beam laser and interference laser.
[0054] After the initial atomic cluster is cooled and prepared in its initial state, it falls freely in the gravity field in the vacuum chamber 1 and is divided into two parts, namely, a first atomic cluster and a second atomic cluster, by a split beam laser.
[0055] Step 2: The first atomic group is acted upon three times by the interference laser of the signal interferometer, and then acts upon the detection laser after the interference is completed, and the first interference fringes generated by the signal interferometer are collected.
[0056] Step 3, the second atomic group is acted upon three times by the interference laser of the reference interferometer, and after the interference is completed, it acts upon the detection laser, and collects the second interference fringes generated by the reference interferometer.
[0057] The motion process of the atomic group falling freely in the gravitational field can be found in Figure 2 After the cooling and initial state preparation, the atomic group 2 (initial atomic group) is in the momentum state. At time 0, it starts to fall freely in the gravitational field from point a. After time t1, the splitting laser 3 acts at point b to split the atomic group 2 into atomic group 2-1 and atomic group 2-2. The momentum of atomic group 2-1 does not change and is still in the momentum state On the surface, the atomic group 2-2 has gained additional momentum and is in the momentum state Up, n 1 is a positive integer. is Planck's constant, and k is the interfering laser 4 wave vector.
[0058] After the beam splitting, after a time t2, the atomic cluster 2-1 is split again by the π / 2 pulse of the interference laser 4 at point c, and the beam is split into atomic clusters 2-3 and 2-4, and the two atomic clusters each account for half of the number of atoms. Atomic cluster 2-3 maintains the momentum state unchanged, atomic group 2-4 gains momentum and jumps to Up, n 2 is a positive integer. After time T1, the atomic cluster 2-3 flies to point d, and the atomic cluster 2-4 flies to point e. Then, the π pulse of the interfering laser 4 is applied, and the atomic clusters 2-3 all jump to And all the atoms 2-4 jump to After T1+δ T Afterwards, the atomic clusters 2-3 and 2-4 intersect at point f, but their positions do not completely overlap. At this time, the π / 2 pulse of the interference laser 4 is applied to complete the interference between the atomic clusters 2-3 and 2-4, realizing an open-loop atomic interferometer, which is a signal interferometer. After time t3, it flies to the detection area, and after interacting with the horizontal detection laser 5, it emits a fluorescence signal, detects and obtains interference fringes.
[0059] After flying from point b for t4 time, the atomic cluster 2-2 arrives at point g and is split again by the π / 2 pulse of the interference laser 4 into atomic clusters 2-5 and 2-6, each of which accounts for half of the number of atoms. Atomic cluster 2-5 maintains momentum state unchanged, atomic group 2-6 gains momentum and jumps to After time T2, the atomic cluster 2-5 flies to point h, and the atomic cluster 2-6 flies to point i. Then, the π pulse of the interference laser 4 is applied, and the atomic clusters 2-5 all jump to And all the atoms 2-6 jump to After T2+δ T After that, the atomic clusters 2-5 and 2-6 intersect at point j, but their positions do not completely overlap. At this time, the π / 2 pulse of the interference laser 4 is applied to complete the interference between the atomic clusters 2-5 and 2-6, and realize an open-loop atomic interferometer, which is the reference interferometer. After time t5, it flies to the detection area, and after interacting with the horizontal detection laser 5, it emits a fluorescence signal, detects and obtains interference fringes.
[0060] In a possible embodiment of the present invention, the split beam laser 3 and the interference laser 4 are large momentum transfer pulses, which may be Bragg diffraction pulses, which make the momentum difference between two groups of atoms differ by more than 2 photon momentum, and the internal state of the atomic group remains unchanged, and only the external state changes.
[0061] Step 4, performing data processing and analysis on the first interference fringes and the second interference fringes, and calculating the gravitational acceleration based on the differential phase between the signal interferometer and the reference interferometer.
[0062] For the signal interferometer, the interference phase expression of the interferometer output is:
[0063]
[0064] Where α is the frequency sweep slope when interfering laser 4 compensates for the atomic Doppler frequency shift, ω r is the atomic recoil frequency, v 0 is the initial velocity of the atom group 2 when it falls freely at point a, δ 0 is the detuning amount of the atomic cluster 2 resonating with the interference laser 4 at point a.
[0065] For the reference interferometer, the interferometric phase expression of the interferometer output is:
[0066]
[0067] Then after the interference phase of the two interferometers is differentiated, the differential phase of the open-loop diatomic interferometer is obtained as follows:
[0068]
[0069] Since the time for the atomic cluster 2-1 and the atomic cluster 2-2 to fly from point a to the detection area is the same, that is:
[0070] t 1 +t 2 +2T 1 +δ T +t 3 =t 1 +t 4 +2T 2 +δT +t 5
[0071] So we can get:
[0072] 2(T 2 -T 1 )+t 4 -t 2 =t 3 -t 5
[0073] The differential phase of the open-loop diatomic interferometer can be simplified to:
[0074]
[0075] The phases related to the atomic velocity are differentially eliminated, so a more stable interference phase can be obtained in a dynamic environment without being affected by the initial velocity of the atoms. Except for the g value, all other system parameters and atomic parameters are known in the phase, so the gravitational acceleration can be solved by the above formula, which can achieve accurate measurement of gravitational acceleration.
[0076] See also Figure 3 , a gravity measuring device based on a path-opening diatomic interferometer of the present invention is provided, comprising a vacuum cavity 1, a signal interferometer, a reference interferometer, a fluorescence collection system 6 and a data acquisition system 7.
[0077] After the atomic clusters are cooled and prepared in the initial state, they begin to fall freely in the gravity field of the vacuum chamber 1, and are divided into a first atomic cluster and a second atomic cluster by the beam splitting laser 3;
[0078] The first atomic group is acted upon by the three-interference laser of the signal interferometer, and after the interference is completed, it reacts with the detection laser 5 to emit a first fluorescence signal, which is collected by the fluorescence collection system 6;

[0081] For details, see Figure 3The atomic cluster 2 is in a vacuum chamber 1. A pair of split lasers 3 act on the atomic cluster from above and below, respectively, to divide the atomic cluster 2 into two parts, one for signal detection and the other for reference. A pair of interference lasers 4 and the split laser 3 share the same optical fiber, and act on two atomic clusters through two groups of three laser pulses each, forming an atomic interferometer with two open paths. After the interference is completed, the detection laser 5 acts on the atomic cluster, and the fluorescence signal emitted by the atomic cluster is collected by the fluorescence collection system 6. After the optical signal is converted into an electrical signal, the data is processed and analyzed by the data acquisition system 7 to solve the gravitational acceleration.
[0082] The movement process of the atomic group in the vacuum chamber can be found in the method embodiment, and will not be repeated here.
