Technical field
The present invention relates to the atomic energy level measuring technique, specifically a kind of accurate measuring device for atomic energy level.
Background technology
The accurate measurement of atomic energy level is developed significant to research atomic structure, the hyperfine constant of atom, atom potential energy curve and atomic power.At present, mainly adopt in the world the method for spectrum to measure atomic energy level, still due to the broadening effect of spectrum line, covered the details of spectral composition, become the major obstacle of obtaining atomic energy level information.There are three factors in the source of spectrum broadening: the natural width of spectral line, pressure cause (collision) broadening, Doppler broadening.When pressure is less than 1333Pa(10mmHg) time, compacting broadening is also not serious, with natural width, identical magnitude is arranged.Wherein Doppler broadening than large two orders of magnitude of natural width, is the principal ingredient of actual spectrum line width usually.Usually make some very close to the spectral line indistinguishable.Some new methods that modern age, spectrum experiment adopted are to eliminate the effective ways of Doppler broadening as saturated light spectral technology, two-photon absorption.The saturation-absorption spectrum technology can only speed of detection be zero atom, and two-photon absorption can be surveyed the atom of all speed, and two-photon absorption can make all atoms all spectral signal be had to contribution, more superior than saturated absorption.Based on this, people adopt the laser instrument of two fixed frequencies to study the Two-photon Absorption Spectrum of atom usually, thereby measure the level of energy of atom.The laser instrument of this fixed frequency only can be studied the single two-photon spectrum of atom, and the locking that need to be concerned with to the laser instrument of two fixed frequencies, operate very complicatedly, the too wide measuring accuracy that affects atomic energy level of Stimulated Light device Output of laser live width (MHz) can only reach MHz.Based on this, be necessary to invent a kind of impact that is not subject to Doppler broadening, easy to operate, while can accurately be measured the atomic energy level measurement mechanism of the whole energy level information of selected atom rapidly, with the restriction that solves existing atomic energy level measuring technique Stimulated Light device fixed frequency, can only measure atomic component energy level, the impact of precision Stimulated Light device live width, the measuring method complexity on the atomic energy level measurement and the problem that is difficult to realization.
Summary of the invention
The present invention can only measure atomic component energy level, the impact of precision Stimulated Light device live width, the measuring method complexity on the atomic energy level measurement and the problem that is difficult to realization for the restriction that solves existing atomic energy level measuring technique Stimulated Light device fixed frequency, and a kind of accurate measuring device for atomic energy level is provided.
The present invention adopts following technical scheme to realize: accurate measuring device for atomic energy level comprises femtosecond laser frequency comb, without polarization beam splitter prism, atom steam bubble, photomultiplier and oscillograph; Be provided with by the first completely reflecting mirror and the second completely reflecting mirror and be connected in series successively the collimated light path formed between the exit end of femtosecond laser frequency comb and incident end without polarization beam splitter prism; Be connected in series successively without being provided with by the 3rd completely reflecting mirror, the first optical filter, the 4th completely reflecting mirror between the transmission exit end of polarization beam splitter prism and atom steam bubble the light path formed; Be connected in series successively without being provided with by the 3rd optical filter and the 5th completely reflecting mirror between the reflection exit end of polarization beam splitter prism and atom steam bubble the light path formed; Be provided with by convex lens and the second optical filter and be connected in series successively the light path formed between the input end of atom steam bubble and photomultiplier; Be connected with the BNC line between the output terminal of photomultiplier and oscillograph.
During work, the high stability broad band laser (300-1000nm) of femtosecond laser frequency comb output is incided without polarization beam splitter prism after the first completely reflecting mirror, the second completely reflecting mirror reflection successively, then by separate transmission and the reflected light that light intensity is equal without polarization beam splitter prism, wherein transmitted light is rear through the first optical filter by the 3rd completely reflecting mirror reflection, select the beam of laser of the required use of two-photon absorption by the first optical filter from broad band laser, then pass atom steam bubble after the 4th completely reflecting mirror reflection.Reflected light is directly through the 3rd optical filter, utilize the 3rd optical filter to select another Shu Jiguang of the required use of two-photon absorption from broad band laser, pass atom steam bubble again after the 5th completely reflecting mirror reflection, at this moment can make the light paths of the two bundle laser of propagating in opposite directions overlap by regulating the 4th completely reflecting mirror and the 5th completely reflecting mirror.The frequency of the broad band laser of the femtosecond laser frequency comb of atom steam bubble scanning subsequently output, when scanning the two-photon resonance frequency, atom vapor is steeped oneself-meeting and is sent fluorescence, the fluorescence produced is surveyed by photomultiplier converge and use the second optical filter elimination parasitic light through convex lens after, and detectable signal is input on oscillograph and shows by the BNC line.In this process, the oscillograph frequency shown to femtosecond laser frequency comb carried out synchronous recording.The Two-photon Absorption Spectrum obtained according to oscillograph and shown frequency just can accurately obtain the atomic energy level position to femtosecond laser frequency comb.Fig. 2 be do not use the first optical filter and the 3rd optical filter, only by the Two-photon Absorption Spectrum of all energy levels of caesium atom of the second optical filter acquisition.Fig. 3 adopts the first optical filter center caesium atom 6 selected at 852nm bandwidth 10nm at 450nm bandwidth 10nm, the 3rd optical filter center at 794nm bandwidth 10nm, the second optical filter center 2s 1/2-6 2p 3/2-8 2s 1/2two-photon absorption figure.Known by comparison diagram 2 and Fig. 3, adopt and the first optical filter of caesium atomic energy level corresponding frequencies and the two-photon spectrum that the second optical filter can be determined and signal to noise ratio (S/N ratio) is higher, and the gained spectral line better differentiates, improved thus the accuracy of measurement.In above-mentioned measuring process, femtosecond laser frequency comb output broad band laser (300-1000nm), use different narrow band pass filters to select to be correlated with a series of different frequency laser, be equivalent to obtain the numerous LASER Light Source of 300-1000nm, for the energy level information of accurately measuring arbitrary atom provides support.Because exciting two bundle laser of two photon transition is all to be provided by femtosecond laser frequency comb, so there is strict coherence without extra relevant locking, to carry out complicated relevant locking than common two different laser instruments, this kind is easier without the measuring method of extra relevant locking, has greatly improved thus the two photon transition probability.While adopting accurate measuring device for atomic energy level of the present invention to carry out the atomic energy level measurement, do not need to use the laser instrument of many different frequencies, and only need to change the first optical filter and the second optical filter, just can record all two-photon spectrums.Test shows, adopts existing atomic energy level measuring technique to measure whole atomic energy level needs tens to up to a hundred laser instruments.Just can measure whole atomic energy levels and use a playscript with stage directions to invent described accurate measuring device for atomic energy level, simplify greatly measuring method.Simultaneously, the degree of accuracy of the atomic energy level that adopts accurate measuring device for atomic energy level of the present invention to obtain can reach the magnitude of kHz, and the measuring accuracy of the MHz obtained than the employing prior art has qualitative leap.Based on said process, with existing atomic energy level measuring technique, compare, accurate measuring device for atomic energy level of the present invention efficiently solves the restriction of existing atomic energy level measuring technique Stimulated Light device fixed frequency can only measure the atomic component energy level, the precision Stimulated Light device live width impact
