When realizing, ring oscillator 26 can be made up of odd number not gate, and the number of not gate is at least 3.This quantized system 21 at least comprises cavity bubble system 211, light source 212 and speed-sensitive switch (Shutter) 213.
Particularly, determine that the process of loop response time is as follows:
Suppose certain moment, the state of speed-sensitive switch 213 is "ON", the light that light source 211 encourages is by directly carrying out in cavity bubble system 211 after speed-sensitive switch 213, under the effect of conventional atom clock principle, the quantum frequency discrimination of performance subsystem 21 obtains quantum frequency discrimination signal, this quantum frequency discrimination signal acts on VCXO 24 on the one hand by obtaining output signal (i.e. voltage control signal) after servo loop 22 after phase shifter 27 and D/A converter 28, simultaneously, processor 21 also can control to generate modulation signal, feed back in ring oscillator 26 on the other hand, because quantized system 21 completes quantum frequency discrimination, so the signal outputting to ring oscillator 26 is high level " 1 ", this high level " 1 " becomes low level " 0 " behind the door through the odd number of ring oscillator 26 is non-, this low level " 0 " is applied to speed-sensitive switch 213 after processor 23, its state is made to become "Off", now quantized system 21 can not complete quantum frequency discrimination, the output signal of servo loop 22 is low level " 0 ", this low level " 0 " is changed to high level " 1 " after ring oscillator 26 can make the state of speed-sensitive switch become "ON" again, so far, complete the one-period of oscillating loop.In actual applications, the state that can detect double speed-sensitive switch by processor 23 is the time difference of "ON" or "Off", to obtain the cycle of oscillating loop.
Suppose that the cycle of oscillating loop 32 is T1, t average delay time of each not gate in ring oscillator 26, the number of not gate is N, according to the fundamental characteristics of ring oscillator, the cycle of ring oscillator 26 is 2Nt, then according to the cycle of ring oscillator 26 and the cycle of oscillating loop 32, the formula of the loop response time determined is as follows:
Δt=(T1-2Nt)/2
Wherein, Δ t is the loop response time of device.
Can be learnt by above solution procedure, the loop response time was determined jointly by the response time (i.e. relaxation time) of quantized system 21 (being also physical system) and the response time of peripheral circuit (such as servo loop 22, processor 23 etc.).But in actual applications, because the response time of circuit quickly (reaches more than 10ns level) usually, so the response time of circuit is substantially negligible, namely the loop response time was determined by the relaxation time, therefore, in the present invention, think that the relaxation time approximates the loop response time.
In the present embodiment, signal processing circuit 25 can comprise digital frequency synthesizer 251, phase modulation frequency multiplier 252 and microwave are doubly, frequency mixer 253, this digital frequency synthesizer 251 is connected with processor 26, the input of phase modulation frequency multiplier 252 is connected with the output of digital frequency synthesizer 252 and VCXO 24 respectively, microwave doubly, the input of frequency mixer 253 is connected with the output of phase modulation frequency multiplier 252, processor 26 sends keying FM signal, control figure frequency synthesizer 251 with the cycle of this keying FM signal for the cycle alternately exports modulation signal, microwave interrogation signals is produced after the output signal SHG and THG of this modulation signal and VCXO 24.

In the present embodiment, when the keying FM signal of processor 23 elects 79Hz (i.e. the relaxation time of 5 times) as, can F0=5.3125MHz be set, F1=5.3123MHz.
Alternatively, servo loop 22 can also comprise frequency selective amplifier 222 sum-product intergrator 223.Frequency selective amplifier 222 exports to phase sensitive amplifier 221 after the output signal of quantized system 21 being carried out frequency-selecting and amplification, after integrator 223 filters for the alternating current component exported by phase sensitive amplifier 221, and output voltage control signal.
In the present embodiment, suppose that modulation signal is: S=Asin (2 π ft), wherein, A is amplitude is constant.
Then, light inspection first-harmonic exports and is:
Wherein, equal 0 or 180 degree, be the phase shift that phase modulation frequency multiplier 252 is introduced, AB is constant.
After frequency-selecting is amplified, signal expression is: wherein, be the phase shift of frequency selective amplifier 222, Ka is frequency-selecting gain amplifier.
Because the mathematical expression of phase sensitive detection is multiplier, after phase sensitive amplifier 221, signal is:
wherein, Kp is phase sensitivity gain amplifier.
Through the filter action of integrator 223, the alternating current component during phase sensitive amplifier 221 outputs signal will be filtered, and the voltage signal finally exported is:
Above-mentioned phase modulation frequency multiplier 252, frequency selective amplifier 222, phase sensitive amplifier 221, filter (i.e. integrator) 223 etc. all likely cause change, and then cause the change in gain of atomic clock system, thus produce frequency drift, normally work to make atomic clock and there is maximum gain, phase shifter 27 must be added in systems in which to offset extra phase shift in actual applications, due to phase shift finally can the phase place of synchronizing signal in figure 3 and frequency discrimination signal change among embody, so staff (i.e. user) can show result by Signal Monitor 30, setting needs phase shift i.e. the second user instruction regulated, and to be controlled the extra phase shift in the voltage signal that exported by phase sensitive amplifier 221 of phase shifter 27 by processor 23 according to the second user instruction offset.
