Summary of the invention
In order to overcome the complicated and limited problem of sensitivity of existing Weak magentic-field surveying instrument device, the invention provides a kind of novel high-sensitivity atomic magnetometer.This instrument not only possesses very high sensitivity, and device is simple, power consumption is little.
The invention provides a kind of high-sensitivity atomic magnetometer, constitute, connect, constitute the integral body of high-sensitivity atomic magnetometer by laser optical path by LASER Light Source 1, low-intensity magnetic field probe 2 and 3 three parts of signal sensor; Described LASER Light Source 1, adopt frequency stabilized semiconductor laser output with circularly polarized laser alkali metal atom ground state transition frequency resonance, constitute by laser instrument 4, laser control circuit 5 and quarter-wave plate 6; Described low-intensity magnetic field probe 2 is made of glass envelope 7 that comprises the alkaline metal saturated vapour and modulation coil 8, and the glass envelope 7 that comprises the alkaline metal saturated vapour places treats measuring magnetic field; Described signal sensor 3, adopt electrooptical device 9 that the laser signal that sees through glass envelope 7 is converted to electric signal, adopt the Autocorrelation Detection technology of modulation and demodulation that electric signal is handled simultaneously, use a computer then electric signal is gathered automatically, handled and exports; Constitute by electrooptical device 9, lock-in amplifier 10 and data acquisition, treatment facility 11.
The measuring method of atom magnetometer provided by the invention is: will comprise the glass envelope 7 of alkaline metal saturated vapour and even heating thereof on every side and keep constant temperature, and place and treat measuring magnetic field; Open laser control circuit 5 earlier, regulate the electric current and the temperature of laser diode, make the Wavelength stabilized of semiconductor laser 4, the quarter-wave plate 6 of applicable wavelengths is vertically placed the laser beam direction, the relative angle of regulating wave plate makes that transmitted light is a circularly polarized light; On modulation coil 8, add sinusoidal alternating current, regulate light path, make circularly polarized light vertically by atomic gas bubble 7; And use 9 pairs of transmitted light intensities of high sensitivity silicon photoelectric diode to survey, the signal of photodiode is imported lock-in amplifier 10 carry out Autocorrelation Detection, and the output signal input computing machine 11 of lock-in amplifier is gathered, handled and finally output.
The working mechanism of atom magnetometer provided by the present invention is: when resonance laser passes through alkali metal atom gas, caused the atomic population transfer under horizontal Weak magentic-field effect to be measured, thereby changed the absorptivity of atomic gas to laser intensity.Obtain the signal of Weak magentic-field by the variation of measuring transmission laser intensity.
Advantage of the present invention is: one, device is simple, only needs LASER Light Source, low-intensity magnetic field probe and three parts of photodetector; Two, highly sensitive, this is because the level population number of alkali metal atom is very responsive to the variation in magnetic field, and the level population number is very big to the absorptivity influence of incident laser; Three, objective interface close friend owing to give full play to the advantage of computer software and hardware in data acquisition and processing (DAP), makes objective interface and powerful.
