Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of optoelectronic servo control technology, specifically relating to a Raman beam parallelism adjustment system and method for an atomic interferometer. Background Technology
[0002] Achieving high-precision measurements with atomic interferometers requires the combined action of multiple sets of bidirectional (reverse) Raman beams. The angular consistency between the Raman beams directly affects the contrast of the interference fringes of the atomic interferometer, further impacting the output phase accuracy and limiting the system's measurement precision. Current methods for calibrating the incident angle of Raman beams in atomic interferometers are either only applicable to single-beam Raman beam calibration and cannot effectively adjust the relative parallelism of multiple Raman beam combinations, leading to errors in high-precision alignment, or rely on the size and precision of the 90° Raman beam reflecting prism, which cannot meet the requirements for Raman beam parallelism alignment in large-loop atomic interferometers located far apart in space.
