Description

Method for measuring spin-exchange relaxation rate based on SERF inertial measurement device
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of atomic spin inertia measurement devices, in particular to a method for measuring spin-exchange relaxation rate based on a SERF inertia measurement device, which is used for obtaining half-width of corresponding frequency response curves under different bias magnetic field conditions through fitting of a frequency response formula, calculating a first total relaxation rate of an incomplete SERF state and a second total relaxation rate of a complete SERF state by using a relation between the half-width and the total relaxation rate, and subtracting the two total relaxation rates to obtain the spin-exchange relaxation rate, thereby being beneficial to accurately measuring the spin-exchange relaxation rate which is not completely eliminated in the SERF inertia measurement device and providing a foundation for developing the atomic spin inertia measurement device with high precision.
Background
Because the atoms in the two hyperfine energy levels precess in opposite directions, spin-exchange collisions redistribute the alkali metal atoms between the ground state zeeman energy levels and cause relaxation, affecting polarization. Only if the relaxation caused by spin-exchange collisions is completely eliminated, the atomic inertial measurement unit can reach ultra-high sensitivity to slowly varying magnetic fields, such as those generated by earth or magnetic anomalies. Therefore, accurately measuring Spin-exchange relaxation rates that are not completely eliminated in a SERF inertial measurement unit is of great importance to improving the sensitivity of precision measurements (SERF is Spin-Exchange Relaxation-Free Spin-Free relaxation). Currently, the relaxation rate r= nsv is generally calculated by using a relaxation rate formula, where n is the density of a certain gas contained in the gas chamber, s is the effective collision cross section between an alkali metal and the gas, v is the relative thermal velocity between the alkali metal and the gas, and the accuracy of calculation is limited by the accuracy of density measurement, only a rough value can be calculated, and cannot be accurately measured in real time.
