Method and system for operating an atomic clock with simultaneous locking of field and frequency

InactiveUS6888780B2Eliminates concern about magnetic-field dependenceHigh light transmittanceMechanical clocksPulse automatic controlTrappingLaser light
The present invention provides a method and system to simultaneously use the microwave and Zeeman end resonances associated with the same sublevel of maximum (or minimum) azimuthal quantum number m to lock both the atomic clock frequency and the magnetic field to definite values. This eliminates the concern about the field dependence of the end-resonance frequency. In an embodiment of the system of the present invention, alkali metal vapor is pumped with circularly-polarized D1 laser light that is intensity-modulated at appropriate resonance frequencies, thereby providing coherent population trapping (CPT) resonances. In another embodiment, pumping with constant-intensity circularly-polarized D1 laser light enhances magnetic resonances that are excited by alternating magnetic fields oscillating at appropriate resonance frequencies. In both embodiments, the resonances are greatly enhanced by concentrating most of the atoms in the initial state of the resonances, and by diminishing the spin-exchange broadening of the resonances. This leads to greater stability of optically pumped atomic clocks. This invention can also be used to operate an atomic magnetometer, where the feedback signal used to stabilize the magnetic field at the alkali-vapor cell can serve as a sensitive measure of the ambient magnetic field.

Block boundary artifact reduction for block-based image compression

Block boundary artifact reduction in decompressed digital images is accomplished by filtering the intensity of pixels in the vicinity of the block boundary. The filter utilizes filter coefficients selected from tables on the basis of the distribution of a scalar quantity describing the pixels neighboring the pixel to which the intensity adjustment is to be applied. The intensities of pixels at the boundary and one pixel removed from the boundary are adjusted. If interpolation pixels in each of neighboring blocks are of relatively constant intensity, the intensities of additional pixels, more remote from the boundary, are adjusted. Filter coefficients can be selected from different arrays for pixels on the boundary or removed from the boundary or if the pixel intensity adjustment is based on the intensities of pixels in a horizontal row or vertical column of interpolation pixels.

Semiconductor light source with optical feedback

A semiconductor light source with optical feedback includes a vertical member extending upward from an upper horizontal surface of a header parallel to a vertical beam projected from a semiconductor light-emitting element mounted on the horizontal surface of the header wherein the vertical member supports a light-sensing element for receiving light reflected transversely from the vertical beam by a beam splitter supported by the vertical member. The vertical beam passing through the beam splitter passes through a window or filter in a cap mounted on the header and covering the light-emitting element, the light-sensing element, the beam splitter, and the vertical member. Substantially all of the transversely reflected light impinges on the light-sensing element and can be used to control the power to the light-emitting element. A simple lens can by used to collimate the beam. Interior portions of the unit are formed from light absorbing materials such as black ceramic, black plastic, anodized aluminum, etc. The combined effect of the non-reflective interior of the assembly, the orientation of the photo-diode to have an acceptance cone perpendicular to the beam axis, the small entrance pupil, and the optical filter reduces ambient radiation in the unit by as much as −75 dB of the level outside the device. This reduces noise and drift in the automatic power control loop to produce constant intensity in the output light beam.

Compensating for effects of topography variation by using a variable intensity-threshold

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that accurately determines a critical dimension of a feature in a layout by compensating for the effects of topography variation on the performance of an optical lithography process. During operation, the system first receives a layout. Next, the system computes an aerial-image intensity at an evaluation point in the layout using an optical lithography model that models the optical lithography process. Note that the aerial-image intensity is typically compared with a constant intensity threshold to determine a critical dimension of a feature in the layout. The system then computes an intensity threshold based on features in the proximity of the evaluation point, which compensates for the effects of topography variations on the performance of the optical lithography process. Next, the system determines the critical dimension of the feature by comparing the aerial-image intensity with the computed intensity threshold, instead of comparing the aerial-image intensity with the constant intensity threshold.

Methods of operating a frequency-converted laser source are disclosed. According to particular disclosed embodiments, a laser diode is driven in a pulsed mode to define pixel intensity values corresponding to desired gray scale values of image pixels in an image plane of the laser source. The pixel intensity values are a function of a laser control signal comprising a discontinuous pulse component, a relatively constant intensity component I, and a continuously variable intensity component I*. The pulse width w of the discontinuous pulse component is selected from a set of discrete available pulse widths according to a desired pixel gray scale value. A low-end pulse width w of the set of available pulse widths is established for a range of low-end pixel gray scale values and progressively larger pulse widths w are established for ranges of progressively higher pixel gray scale values. The relatively constant intensity component I makes a relatively insignificant contribution to pixel intensity at the low-end pulse width w for the range of low-end pixel gray scale values and assumes a non-zero value for enhanced conversion efficiency at the progressively larger pulse widths w established for the higher pixel gray scale values.
