This application belongs to the field of atomic interferometry precision measurement, specifically disclosing a method and apparatus for atomic interferometry based on dual optical tweezers guidance. This application achieves efficient segmentation by employing dual optical tweezers for initial state preparation and beam splitting of the initial cold atomic clusters, reducing the heating and decoherence effects associated with traditional methods. By controlling the optical tweezers to guide the two atomic clusters along a non-overlapping, tightly wound path, interaction and decoherence are avoided, while the extended movement distance enhances phase accumulation and improves interference sensitivity. Subsequently, atomic interference is achieved by combining the optical tweezers beams, ensuring stable interference fringes and improving measurement accuracy. Finally, the combined atomic clusters are used iteratively as the initial atomic clusters, reducing repeated preparation time and effectively increasing the sampling rate. Compared with existing technologies, this method improves the sampling rate and measurement sensitivity while reducing heating and decoherence, thus solving the problems of limited heating, decoherence, and sampling rate in atomic interferometers and significantly enhancing measurement capabilities.

The atomic electronic state separator (1) of the present invention includes: an atomic supply unit (11), an atomic movement path (12), a probe laser source (13), and a magnetic field generating unit (M). The atomic supply unit (11) supplies atoms that move in the atomic movement path (12) at a certain speed. The probe laser source (13) supplies a probe laser that propagates coaxially with the atomic movement path (12) in a direction opposite to or the same as the direction of atomic movement. The magnetic field generating unit (M) generates a magnetic field orthogonal to the atomic movement path (12) in the atomic movement path (12) and mixes it with the wave function of the electronic state that allows electric dipole transitions, thereby enabling pulse excitation of clock transitions based on the same probe laser in time and space. Alternatively, a magnetic shielding member can pulse excite clock transitions by shielding the magnetic field applied in the atomic movement path (12) and spatially changing the Zeeman frequency shift, thereby enabling pulse excitation of clock transitions by the same probe laser in time and space. As a result, it is possible to continuously perform spectral analysis of atomic transitions and frequency control of the detection laser, thereby improving the stability of the atomic clock.

The application discloses a method and equipment for extracting same-frequency aliasing signals in a shear atomic interferometer. The same-frequency aliasing interference signals to be fitted are regarded as simple harmonic signals, fitted effective contrast and fitted effective phase are obtained based on the simple harmonic signals, and the contrast prior value of the first atomic interference signal and the contrast prior value of the second atomic interference signal are obtained by inversion. The same-frequency aliasing interference signals to be solved are regarded as simple harmonic signals, the measured effective contrast and the measured effective phase are obtained based on the simple harmonic signals, the absolute value of the phase deviation of the first atomic interference signal to be solved and the second atomic interference signal to be solved is calculated, and the phase of the first atomic interference signal to be solved and the phase of the second atomic interference signal to be solved are calculated. The application can reconstruct the atomic interference signals from the same-frequency aliasing interference signals to be solved, realizes the restoration of the original signals, and realizes the accurate separation of the atomic interference signals.

The present application belongs to the field of precision measurement, and particularly discloses a method for measuring the transverse temperature of an atomic group in an atomic interferometer. The present application first controls the size of the atomic group at the moment of acting on the Raman light pulse by adjusting the opening time, and then performs a Rabi oscillation experiment under different atomic group sizes. Then, the experimental data are fitted with a trigonometric function, and the key parameters reflecting the transverse temperature are extracted therefrom. Finally, the transverse temperature of the atomic group is obtained by inversion calculation. The method is based on the Gaussian distribution of the atomic group density and the Raman light intensity in the transverse space, and the coupling result of the two is the non-uniformity of atomic transition in the transverse space, thereby affecting the average transition probability of the whole atomic group, i.e. the linearity of the Rabi oscillation curve. Conversely, the linearity of the Rabi oscillation of the atomic group contains the transverse parameters of the atomic group, and the transverse parameters of the atomic group are extracted from the linearity of the Rabi oscillation. The present application can be completed only by relying on the atomic interferometer itself, and has low requirements for equipment, simple process and easy operation.
