Super stable optical cavity
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of optical experimental equipment, and particularly relates to an ultra-stable optical cavity. The method is suitable for ultrastable laser and optical clock systems and precise measurement physical experiments.
Background
The ultra-stable optical cavity is an essential device for generating ultra-stable laser light as a frequency-locked reference of the laser. The device is mainly used for clock laser and precise measurement physical experiments of the optical clock. In order to improve the frequency stability of the ultrastable laser in experiments, the ultrastable optical cavity must be required to have low vibration sensitivity. The traditional super-stable optical cavity is placed at a plurality of supporting points in order to ensure low vibration sensitivity, and the optical cavity cannot be moved and can only be applied in a laboratory.
With the maturity of the ultrastable laser technology, more and more work requires that the ultrastable laser can be carried and used under a variety of non-laboratory environment mirrors, so the optical cavity is required to have a stable structure while having low vibration sensitivity, can bear certain vibration, does not shift, and is not damaged. In order to meet the requirements, scientists propose various portable ultra-stable optical cavity designs which can meet the carrying requirements to a certain extent, but still have the problems that the extrusion force on the optical cavity is large during installation, so that the optical cavity is coupled with the outside too strongly, or cannot bear large vibration acceleration and impact, and is not suitable for vehicle-mounted, airborne, rocket launching and other scenes.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to examples for the purpose of facilitating understanding and practice of the invention by those of ordinary skill in the art, and it is to be understood that the present invention has been described in the illustrative embodiments and is not to be construed as limited thereto.
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, a super-stable optical cavity includes a cavity 1, a light-passing hole 2 is provided in the cavity 1, and a central axis of the light-passing hole 2 is collinear with a central axis of the cavity 1; a first end face 3 and a second end face 4 are respectively arranged at two ends of the light through hole 2, and the first end face 3 and the second end face 4 are parallel and are perpendicular to the central axis of the light through hole 2; the middle outer side of the cavity 1 is circumferentially provided with a first protrusion 5, a second protrusion 6 and a third protrusion 7, the first protrusion 5, the second protrusion 6 and the third protrusion 7 are uniformly distributed on a distribution circle, the center of the distribution circle is located on the central axis of the light through hole 2, the plane of the distribution circle is perpendicular to the central axis of the light through hole 2, and the plane of the distribution circle is a symmetrical plane of the cavity.
The first end face 3 and the second end face 4 are respectively provided with a first cavity mirror 8 and a second cavity mirror 9, and the first cavity mirror 8 and the second cavity mirror 9 are parallel and are both vertical to the central axis of the light through hole 2.
The cavity 1 passes through the adapter ring 10, and the first protrusion 5, the second protrusion 6 and the third protrusion 7 are connected with the adapter ring 10. And the optical cavity is fixed on other mechanical structures through the adapter ring.
The vibration sensitivity of an optical cavity, i.e. the relationship between the optical cavity length and the vibration acceleration, depends on two factors: firstly, deformation of a cavity under acceleration; secondly, the deformation of the frame of the assembly chamber under acceleration causes a compression of the chamber resulting in a deformation of the chamber. In the design, the cavity 1 has geometric symmetry, the positions and the shapes of the protrusions (5, 6 and 7) also have geometric symmetry, when the cavity 1 is supported by the protrusions (5, 6 and 7), the first-order relation between the cavity length change of the cavity 1 and the vibration acceleration is automatically zero, the cavity length change caused by the deformation of the cavity under the acceleration is minimized, in addition, the number of the protrusions (5, 6 and 7) in the design is 3, the supporting number is reduced while the requirement of cavity fixation is considered, the cavity length change caused by the extrusion of the optical cavity due to the relative deformation and displacement among the protrusions is reduced, and therefore the cavity length change is not sensitive to vibration. The cavity 1 is further fixed to other mechanical structures through the adapter ring 10, so that the influence of external vibration on the optical cavity can be further reduced. Meanwhile, the cavity 1 is fixed to the adapter ring 10 and then to other mechanical structures in a stable and reliable fixing mode, so that the cavity 1 can bear strong vibration without displacement or damage, and the device is suitable for being used in a portable environment and various non-laboratory environments.
As an embodiment, the first protrusion 5, the second protrusion 6 and the third protrusion 7 on the cavity 1 may be formed with the cavity, or may be fixed on the cavity 1 by adhesion or other methods; the material can be the same as or different from that of the cavity 1; the device can be a cylinder and can also be in other shapes.
As another embodiment, the cavity 1 may have a double conical shape, or may have a cylindrical shape or other shapes.
It should be noted that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the invention. Various modifications or additions may be made to the described embodiments or alternatives may be employed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit or ambit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
