Abstract

The invention discloses a Rydberg atom electromagnetic measurement noise reduction method. According to the method, a 509nm coupling light closed-loop circulation system comprising a polarization beam splitter, a half-wave plate and a high-reflectivity mirror is constructed to realize multiple times of reciprocating propagation of laser in an atomic gas chamber, and a light path circulation mechanism is utilized to remarkably improve the coupling strength of light and atoms and greatly improve the excitation efficiency of the Rydberg state on the premise of not increasing the power of a laser source. Meanwhile, due to the structure, the intermediate frequency carrier signals are linearly coherently superposed along with the cycle index, and laser background noise is incoherently accumulated only according to the square root law, so that the measurement signal-to-noise ratio is remarkably improved. The problems that an existing single-pass optical path is low in excitation efficiency and laser background noise is difficult to eliminate can be solved, and a new scheme with high excitation efficiency and high signal-to-noise ratio is provided for high-sensitivity microwave electric field measurement.
