Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cold atom technology, specifically relating to an integrated optomechanical device for a two-dimensional magneto-optical trap. Background Technology
[0002] Cold atoms are widely used in precision measurement fields, such as cold atom interferometers, cold atom gravimeters, and cold atom clocks. A magneto-optical trap (MOT) is a potential trap that utilizes a combination of magnetic fields and the scattering force of laser light. In cold atom fabrication, two-dimensional magneto-optical traps (2D-MOTs) are typically used to decelerate hot atoms in two dimensions to generate a slow atomic beam. In atomic fountain clocks, 2D-MOTs are commonly used to increase the velocity of the atomic beam entering a three-dimensional magneto-optical trap (3D-MOT), accelerating the loading rate of the 3D-MOT, reducing the dead time of the system, suppressing the Dick effect, and improving clock stability.
[0003] Currently, common optomechanical devices for two-dimensional magneto-optical traps (METs) include collimated beams, repulsive beams, the MET itself, and a reflecting structure. The collimated beam enters the MET vertically, is incident on the reflecting structure, and is reflected back into the MET. The repulsive beam enters the MET horizontally. The reflecting structure includes mirrors; the collimated beam is reflected after striking the mirrors, forming a reflected beam. Using this structure, two-dimensional cooling of atoms can be achieved under the influence of the collimated and repulsive beams and the magnetic field of the MET, forming a slow atomic beam. However, the installation precision of the mirrors in traditional optomechanical devices is poor, and tilting of the mirrors can easily cause the reflected beam and incident beam to misalign, thus affecting the cooling efficiency of the MET. Utility Model Content

[0020] In one embodiment of the present invention, the reflective structure further includes a plurality of screws, and a plurality of screw holes are provided on the inner wall of the through hole. The plurality of screw holes are distributed along the circumference of the through hole, and the plurality of screws and the plurality of screw holes correspond one-to-one. The screws pass through the screw holes and press against the outer circumferential surface of the lens barrel.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0022] In the above-described scheme of this application, the integrated optomechanical device includes a collimating beam, a repulsive beam, a beam-splitting structure, a two-dimensional magneto-optical trap, and a reflecting structure. The beam-splitting structure, the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap, and the reflecting structure are arranged sequentially along a first direction. The collimating beam is incident on the beam-splitting structure along the first direction, split into two beams, and then incident on the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap. The beam is then incident on the reflecting structure and reflected back into the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap. The repulsive beam is incident on the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap along a second direction, and the first and second directions are perpendicular to each other. Thus, under the action of the two sets of orthogonal beams of collimating and repulsive beams and the magnetic field of the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap, two-dimensional cooling of atoms can be achieved, forming a slow atom beam. The repulsive beam can repel the slow atom beam, accelerating the atom loading rate. The reflective structure includes a reflector assembly, a front plate, a middle plate, a rear plate, a first bolt, and a second bolt. The front plate, middle plate, and rear plate are arranged sequentially at intervals along a direction perpendicular to the surface of the front plate. The reflector assembly is mounted on the front plate. The lower end of the front plate is connected to the middle plate, and the right end of the middle plate is connected to the rear plate. The upper end of the middle plate is provided with a first bolt hole and a second bolt hole. The first bolt passes through the first bolt hole and connects to the front plate. The second bolt passes through the second bolt hole and presses against the front plate. The first bolt and the first bolt hole are threadedly engaged. When the first bolt is screwed relative to the first bolt hole, it causes the upper end of the front plate to move toward the middle plate. The second bolt and the second bolt hole are threadedly engaged. When the second bolt is screwed relative to the second bolt hole, it causes the upper end of the front plate to move away from the middle plate. This structure allows for the application of a pulling force towards the middle plate to the front plate by tightening the first bolt, and a pushing force away from the middle plate by tightening the second bolt. Thus, when installation errors occur in the reflector assembly, the installation angle of the reflector assembly can be adjusted by tightening the first and second bolts, thereby adjusting the propagation directions of the incident and emitted beams. This ensures that the incident and emitted beams coincide or reduces the deviation between them, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap. Furthermore, applying two opposing forces to the front plate using the first and second bolts clamps the front plate securely, improving its stability and consequently enhancing the overall stability of the optomechanical device.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6This utility model embodiment provides an integrated optomechanical device for a two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4, including a collimated beam 1, a repulsive beam 2, a beam splitting structure 3, a two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4, and a reflective structure 5. The beam splitting structure 3, the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4, and the reflective structure 5 are arranged sequentially along a first direction. The collimated beam 1 is incident on the beam splitting structure 3 along the first direction, split into two beams by the beam splitting structure 3 and incident on the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4, then incident on the reflective structure 5, and reflected into the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4. The repulsive beam 2 is incident on the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4 along a second direction, the first direction and the second direction being perpendicular to each other. The reflective structure 5 includes a mirror assembly 51, a front plate 52, a middle plate 53, a rear plate 54, a first bolt 56, and a second bolt 55. The front plate 52, middle plate 53, and rear plate 54 are arranged sequentially at intervals along a direction perpendicular to the surface of the front plate 52. The reflector assembly 51 is mounted on the front plate 52. The lower end of the front plate 52 is connected to the middle plate 53, and the right end of the middle plate 53 is connected to the rear plate 54. The upper end of the middle plate 53 is provided with a first bolt hole and a second bolt hole. The first bolt 56 passes through the first bolt hole and is connected to the front plate 52. The second bolt 55 passes through the second bolt hole and presses against the front plate 52. The first bolt 56 and the first bolt hole are threadedly engaged. When the first bolt 56 is screwed relative to the first bolt hole, it causes the upper end of the front plate 52 to move toward the middle plate 53. The second bolt 55 and the second bolt hole are threadedly engaged. When the second bolt 55 is screwed relative to the second bolt hole, it causes the upper end of the front plate 52 to move away from the middle plate 53.
[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap (2D-MOT) of the fountain clock contains three types of laser beams: cooling light, re-pump light, and repulsion light. The transversely non-uniform magnetic field within the potential trap provides an environment where radiation pressure varies throughout. The cooling light subjects the atoms in the potential trap to a centripetal light scattering force, which acts as a damping force, reducing the transverse kinetic energy of the atoms and achieving initial two-dimensional cooling. The re-pump light re-pumps atoms that have spontaneously transitioned to non-cooled cycle energy levels back into the cooling cycle, maintaining the continuity of the cooling process. The repulsion light axially propels the cooled atoms from the 2D-MOT region to the next stage of the three-dimensional magneto-optical trap (3D-MOT) or fountain.
[0034] In some embodiments of this application, aluminum alloy is selected as the material for the optomechanical structural components, and titanium screws are used to mechanically press together the various mechanical structural components and optical elements to ensure the non-magnetic characteristics and structural reliability of the optomechanical structure.
[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the collimated light 1 uses a direct-emission adjustable light polarization direction optical collimator designed in the laboratory in the early stage to replace the initial light source, and the number of optical fibers is simplified in the design, with a single optical fiber containing both cooling light and repumping light.
[0036] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first direction is vertical, and the second direction is horizontal.
[0037] In some embodiments of this application, the lower end of the front plate 52 and the lower end of the middle plate 53 may be connected by an arc-shaped transition plate.
[0038] In some embodiments of this application, the light reflected by the reflective structure 5 into the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4 and the repulsive light 2 are orthogonal. Under the action of the two sets of orthogonal light and the magnetic field of the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4, two-dimensional cooling of atoms can be achieved, forming a slow atom beam 6. Among them, the repulsive light 2 is used to repel the slow atom beam 6, thereby accelerating the atom loading rate.
[0039] In the above-described scheme of this application, the integrated optomechanical device includes a collimated beam 1, a repulsive beam 2, a beam splitting structure 3, a two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4, and a reflective structure 5. The beam splitting structure 3, the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4, and the reflective structure 5 are arranged sequentially along a first direction. The collimated beam 1 is incident on the beam splitting structure 3 along the first direction, split into two beams by the beam splitting structure 3, and incident on the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4. The beams are then incident on the reflective structure 5 and reflected back into the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4. The repulsive beam 2 is incident on the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4 along a second direction, with the first and second directions perpendicular to each other. Thus, under the action of the two sets of orthogonal beams, collimated beam 1 and repulsive beam 2, and the magnetic field of the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4, two-dimensional cooling of atoms can be achieved, forming a slow atom beam 6. The repulsive beam 2 can repel the slow atom beam 6, accelerating the atom loading rate. The reflective structure 5 includes a reflector assembly 51, a front plate 52, a middle plate 53, a rear plate 54, a first bolt 56, and a second bolt 55. The front plate 52, the middle plate 53, and the rear plate 54 are arranged sequentially at intervals along a direction perpendicular to the surface of the front plate 52. The reflector assembly 51 is mounted on the front plate 52. The lower end of the front plate 52 is connected to the middle plate 53, and the right end of the middle plate 53 is connected to the rear plate 54. The upper end of the middle plate 53 is provided with a first bolt hole and a second bolt hole. The first bolt 56 passes through the first bolt hole and is connected to the front plate 52. The second bolt 55 passes through the second bolt hole and presses against the front plate 52. The first bolt 56 and the first bolt hole are threadedly engaged. When the first bolt 56 is screwed relative to the first bolt hole, it causes the upper end of the front plate 52 to move toward the middle plate 53. The second bolt 55 and the second bolt hole are threadedly engaged. When the second bolt 55 is screwed relative to the second bolt hole, it causes the upper end of the front plate 52 to move away from the middle plate 53. With this structure, tightening the first bolt 56 applies a pulling force to the front plate 52 towards the middle plate 53, while tightening the second bolt 55 applies a pushing force to the front plate 52 away from the middle plate 53. Thus, when installation errors occur in the reflector assembly 51, the installation angle of the reflector assembly 51 can be adjusted by tightening the first bolt 56 and the second bolt 55, thereby adjusting the propagation direction of the incident and emitted beams. This ensures that the incident and emitted beams coincide or reduces the deviation between them, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4. Furthermore, applying two opposing forces to the front plate 52 using the first bolt 56 and the second bolt 55 clamps and fixes the front plate 52, improving its stability and consequently enhancing the overall stability of the optomechanical device.
[0040] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the beam-splitting structure 3 includes a first beam-splitting component and a second beam-splitting component, which are arranged sequentially along a direction perpendicular to a first direction. The first beam-splitting component includes a first polarizing beam splitter 31 and a first quarter-wave plate 32 arranged sequentially along the first direction. The second beam-splitting component includes a second polarizing beam splitter 33 and a second quarter-wave plate 34 arranged sequentially along the first direction. With this structure, the polarization state of light can be adjusted using the first polarizing beam splitter 31, the first quarter-wave plate 32, the second polarizing beam splitter 33, and the second quarter-wave plate 34 to obtain the desired polarized light.
[0041] In some embodiments of this application, the collimated light 1 can be linearly polarized light. After the collimated light 1 enters the beam splitting structure 3, the linearly polarized light is adjusted for ellipticity by the first polarizing beam splitter 31, the first quarter-wave plate 32, the second polarizing beam splitter 33, and the second quarter-wave plate 34, resulting in two beams of right-hand circularly polarized light or left-hand circularly polarized light. The two beams of right-hand circularly polarized light or left-hand circularly polarized light are then incident into the reflection structure 5 after passing through the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4.
[0042] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the beam splitting structure 3 also includes a housing 35. A first polarizing beam splitter 31 and a second polarizing beam splitter 33 are installed inside the housing 35. The front end face of the housing 35 has two through holes. An annular surrounding plate 36 is provided around each of the two through holes. The annular surrounding plate 36 and the through holes are coaxially arranged, and the diameter of the annular surrounding plate 36 is larger than the diameter of the through holes. A first pressure ring 37 is provided inside each of the two annular surrounding plates 36. A first quarter-wave plate 32 and a second quarter-wave plate 34 are nested within the two annular surrounding plates 36 and are pressed tightly between the first pressure ring 37 and the front end face of the housing 35. Using this structure, the first quarter-wave plate 32 and the second quarter-wave plate 34 are fixed by the annular surrounding plate 36 and the first pressure ring 37, which improves the stability of the installation of the first quarter-wave plate 32 and the second quarter-wave plate 34. Furthermore, the beam splitting structure 3 described above has high integration and compactness, facilitating system miniaturization.
[0043] In some embodiments of this application, the beam-splitting structure 3 is made of a non-magnetic material, which suppresses the influence of stray fields on atomic temperature. Simultaneously, the beam-splitting structure 3 employs a springless design, which eliminates optical path deviation caused by spring aging and deformation.
[0044] In some embodiments of this application, the housing 35 is further provided with threaded holes for mounting and fixing the first polarizing beam splitter 31, the first quarter-wave plate 32, the second polarizing beam splitter 33, and the second quarter-wave plate 34. The upper and side surfaces of the housing 35 are also provided with elongated slots for adjusting the positions of the first polarizing beam splitter 31 and the second polarizing beam splitter 33 during installation. Threaded holes are provided at the bottom of the housing 35 for easy mounting onto a bracket with elongated slots. The bracket and the housing 35 are connected by bolts, which are located within the elongated slots. The position of the beam splitting structure 3 can be adjusted by adjusting the installation position of the bolts within the elongated slots.
[0045] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the reflector assembly 51 includes a first reflecting component and a second reflecting component, which are arranged sequentially along a direction perpendicular to the first direction. The first reflecting component includes a third quarter-wave plate 511 and a first zero-degree total reflection mirror 512 arranged sequentially along the first direction. The second reflecting component includes a fourth quarter-wave plate 513 and a second zero-degree total reflection mirror 514 arranged sequentially along the first direction. With this structure, the ellipticity can be adjusted and two beams of polarized light incident through the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4 can be reflected by the third quarter-wave plate 511, the first zero-degree total reflection mirror 512, the fourth quarter-wave plate 513, and the second zero-degree total reflection mirror 514. Specifically, after two beams of right-handed or left-handed circularly polarized light pass through the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4 and are incident into the reflective structure 5, they can be adjusted and reflected by the third quarter-wave plate 511, the first zero-degree total reflection mirror 512, the fourth quarter-wave plate 513, and the second zero-degree total reflection mirror 514 to form two beams of left-handed or right-handed circularly polarized light that are then incident into the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4 to achieve the effect of slowing down atoms.
[0046] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the reflective structure 5 also includes a third bolt 58 and a fourth bolt 57. The left end of the rear plate 54 has a third bolt hole and a fourth bolt hole. The third bolt 58 passes through the third bolt hole and connects to the middle plate 53. The fourth bolt 57 passes through the fourth bolt hole and presses against the middle plate 53. The third bolt 58 and the third bolt hole are threaded together. When the third bolt 58 is screwed relative to the third bolt hole, it causes the left end of the middle plate 53 to move towards the rear plate 54. When the fourth bolt 57 is screwed relative to the fourth bolt hole, it causes the left end of the middle plate 53 to move away from the rear plate 54. Using this structure, the pitch angle of the reflector assembly 51 can be adjusted by screwing the first bolt 56 and the second bolt 55, and the rotation angle of the reflector assembly 51 can be adjusted by screwing the third bolt 58 and the fourth bolt 57. This adjusts the propagation direction of the incident and outgoing beams, ensuring that the incident and outgoing beams can overlap or reducing the deviation between them, further improving the cooling efficiency of the two-dimensional magneto-optical trap 4.
[0047] In some embodiments of this application, two first bolt holes are provided, and the two first bolt holes are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second bolt hole. Two first bolts 56 are provided, and the two first bolts 56 correspond to the two first bolt holes respectively.

Two third bolts 58 are provided, and the two third bolts 58 correspond to the two third bolt holes respectively. This structure can improve the stability of the reflective structure 5, thereby improving the overall stability of the optomechanical device.
[0049] In some embodiments of this application, two lens barrels 7 are mounted on the front plate 52. A first reflective assembly and a second reflective assembly are respectively installed within the two lens barrels 7. The front plate 52 has two through holes, and the two lens barrels 7 correspond to and are installed within the two through holes. A second pressure ring 8 and an annular protrusion 9 are provided inside each lens barrel 7. Both the first reflective assembly and the annular protrusion 9 are pressed together. This structure, by pressing the first reflective assembly and the annular protrusion 9 together, improves the stability of the installation of the first reflective assembly and the second reflective assembly.

A plurality of screw holes are provided on the inner wall of the through hole, distributed circumferentially along the through hole. Each screw 10 corresponds to one screw hole, and the screws 10 pass through the screw holes and press against the outer circumferential surface of the lens barrel 7. With this structure, the lens barrel 7 can be adjusted in position along the axial direction of the through hole, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the first and second reflective components.
