Description

A kind of left-right rotary circularly polarized light CPT atomic clock physical system device
Technical field
The present invention relates to atomic clock technical field more particularly to a kind of left-right rotary circularly polarized light CPT atomic clock physical systems Device is suitable for small-sized passive-type CPT atomic clock.
Background technique
Atomic clock is a kind of metrical instrument for being capable of providing chronometer time, and bubble type atomic clock is widely used in the whole world and determines Position system, communication, military affairs etc..Physical system in atomic clock is the core component of atomic clock, is every country atomic clock The key technology of level trial of strength.The core devices of physical system are atom steam bubbles, and steam bubble includes alkali metal atom and buffer gas, Alkali metal atom is rubidium -87 or rubidium -85, caesium -133, and buffer gas is the gases such as nitrogen, methane, and for narrowing dimension, fluorescence is quenched It goes out.As shown in Figure 1, the ground state level of atom splits into different magnetic sublevels under low-intensity magnetic field, due to two magnetic sublevel mF =0 energy level (" 0-0 " energy level) is insensitive to magnetic field, therefore commonly uses the jump frequency v between them00As atomic clock frequency discrimination frequency Rate.As the inswept ν of microwave frequency00When, resonance signal, which shows as detection optical signal, will appear a recess or protrusion, utilize local This microwave frequency is locked in resonance signal in frequency corresponding to recess or protrusion, so that it may obtain by oscillator for generating microwave Accurate local oscillator clock signal output.
Passive-type bubble type Atomic Clocks Based on Coherent Population Trapping is modulated to microwave is injected in laser, and is made using laser and atom Coherent Population Trapping imprisons (Coherent Population Trapping, abbreviation CPT) covibration to identify microwave frequency. The microwave of certain power is mixed by capacitor and inductive circuit with direct current, and mixed electric signal injects vertical cavity surface emitting laser (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser, abbreviation VCSEL) generates polygon band light, the base of the polygon band light Frequency is controlled by injection direct current and laser temperature, and the frequency difference of adjacent edge band is equal to microwave frequency, and each sideband luminous intensity meets shellfish plug That function.CPT resonance needs two of them sideband to generate, and if ± 1 grade of sideband light, then referred to as half-breadth is modulated;If fundamental frequency (0 grade) With+1 (or -1) grade sideband light, referred to as overall with is modulated.
The light that VCSEL is issued is linear polarization circle divergent beams, in order to obtain linear polarization collimated light beam, can be by VCSEL 9 are placed in the focus of lens 10, as shown in Fig. 2, beam intensity ratio VCSEL9 output intensity needed for CPT resonates is small, by the optical path Appropriate attenuation piece 11 is set to control the light intensity into steam bubble 14, the effect of the wave plate of λ/4 13 is the linear polarization for exporting VCSEL 9 Light is transformed into left-handed (σ -) or dextrorotation (σ+) circularly polarized light.Steam bubble 14, which is placed in, to be atom, laser phase in the environment of accurate temperature control Interaction provides required alkali metal atom steam.Since 0-0 energy level is that single order is insensitive to magnetic field, in order to them from other Magnetic sublevel screens, while providing quantization axis for circularly polarized light transition, needs to add certain longitudinal magnetic field outside atomic bubble; In addition the influence of the longitudinal magnetic field in remaining earth's magnetic field is prevented, usually in atom steam bubble outer cover magnetic screen.Control suitable VCSEL note Enter direct current and temperature, two sidebands in VCSEL output light are for realizing CPT resonance.The detection of photodetector 16 penetrates steam bubble 14 laser, and it is changed into photo-signal.
The difference on the frequency that microwave frequency changes two sideband light is adjusted, when inswept hyperfine energy level " 0-0 " the resonance frequency of microwave frequency When rate, a resonance signal will occur in photodetector output light electric current.It handles the resonance signal and obtains control microwave frequency After realizing closed loop locking, accurate local oscillator clock signal output is can be obtained in negative-feedback signal.
The light source of above-mentioned traditional passive-type CPT atomic clock physical system scheme is single left-handed (or dextrorotation) circular polarization Light.Circularly polarized laser is to the optical pumping effect of atom hyperfine splitting magnetic sublevel, so that most of atom accumulation is in ground state magnetic On the sub- energy level of quantum number minimum (or maximum), and the atom in this energy level cannot be used for CPT resonance, we are referred to as at the state " leakage " state.Fig. 1 illustrates this phenomenon, therefore signal contrast (the increased photoelectric current letter of CPT resonance by taking -87 atom of rubidium as an example The ratio of number amplitude and the photo-signal amplitude of off-resonance) it is not high.And (professional domain claims the short-term frequency stability of atomic clock Be frequency stability, actually refer to frequency instability) be inversely proportional with contrast, therefore the program manufacture atomic clock it is short Phase stability is not high.
The scheme of left-right rotary circularly polarized light CPT resonance using the direction of propagation opposite left-handed (σ -) and dextrorotation (σ+) respectively with Atom effect, can eliminate the atom in " leakage " state, improve signal contrast.Principle is as follows: the program can use a light Illustrate with the four-level figure of atomic interaction, as shown in Figure 3.Not due to the corresponding transition coefficient of left-right rotary circularly polarized light Together, the σ of same-phase and light intensity+CPT state function corresponding with σ-bi-coloured light phase difference is π, if the σ of same-phase and light intensity+with σ-bi-coloured light, which acts on atom simultaneously, can interfere cancellation, to destroy CPT coherent state, can't see CPT resonance signal, if therefore Time or spatially delay make σ+and σ-phase difference (2n+1) π (n is integer), so that it may reach the σ+and corresponding CPT of σ- State function interference is mutually grown, so that CPT resonance signal enhances, and atom can be concentrated on to " 0-0 energy level ".VCSEL own resonance chamber Have total reflection end face and light output end, be inserted into 0 ° of partially reflecting mirror outside emergent light end face, such total reflection end face VCSEL with 0 ° of partially reflecting mirror constitutes exterior resonant cavity, and the length of exterior resonant cavity isWherein c is the light velocity in vacuum, ν00For vapour Magnetic quantum number is zero (m in the hyperfine Zeeman level of alkali metal atom ground state in bubbleF=0) jump frequency between two energy levels.Portion Light splitting meeting feedback VCSEL reduces the demand of the microwave power of modulation electric current so that the sideband of VCSEL is locked by injection, Therefore not only short-term stability can be significantly hotter than traditional CPT atomic clock to the atomic clock of left-right rotary circularly polarized light CPT resonance production, and And also below traditional CPT atomic clock in microwave power consumption demand.
