Description

Subminiature atomic frequency standard microwave cavity based on parallel plate waveguide
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of atomic frequency standards, in particular to a subminiature atomic frequency standard microwave cavity based on a parallel plate waveguide.
Background
Accurate time is a cornerstone of digital communications, and highly accurate time is the basis for the increase in digital communications bandwidth and speed. With the rapid development of the communication industry, more accurate, stable and reliable timing devices are required in modern digital communication systems. The atomic frequency standard is a timing device taking accurate and stable transition frequency between atomic energy levels as a timing reference, and the rapid development of the related technology of the atomic frequency standard enables the atomic frequency standard to be used as a more accurate, stable and reliable clock source, so that the atomic frequency standard gradually replaces the traditional quartz crystal oscillator, and is widely applied to the field of digital communication.
The rubidium atom frequency standard is an atom frequency standard which utilizes a double resonance transition spectral line generated by the simultaneous action of light and microwave and rubidium atoms as a frequency discrimination signal to implement microwave frequency stabilization. The rubidium frequency standard is an atomic frequency standard which is most widely applied at present due to the characteristics of small volume, light weight, low power consumption, high reliability and the like. The rubidium atomic frequency standard consists of a physical system and a circuit system. The circuit system utilizes the atomic frequency discrimination signal to perform feedback control on the voltage-controlled crystal oscillator.
The physical system is the core of the rubidium frequency standard and mainly comprises an atomic pumping light source, an atomic gas chamber, a microwave resonant cavity and a photoelectric detector. The two ends of the atomic air chamber are transparent and are arranged in the microwave resonant cavity, the pumping light emitted by the pumping light source enters the air chamber through one transparent end of the air chamber, and the pumping light in the air chamber87The Rb vapour atoms performing optical pumping and the microwave magnetic field in the resonant cavity also acting on the gas chamber87Rb vapor atoms, produce an atomic frequency discrimination signal, and the signal is received by a photoelectric detector, and the strength of the signal determines the accuracy of the atomic frequency standard. Meanwhile, the physical system occupies most of the volume of the atomic frequency standard complete machine, and the microwave resonant cavity is the most main structural component in the physical system, so the volume of the physical system mainly depends on the miniaturization and integration degree of the microwave cavity, and further the miniaturization of the atomic frequency standard complete machine is influenced.
The design of the microwave cavity firstly requires that the resonance frequency of the microwave cavity is approximately equal to the microwave resonance transition frequency of atoms, and secondly requires that the polarization direction of the microwave magnetic field in the cavity is consistent as much as possible and is parallel to the direction of the quantization axis, so that the effect of the microwave magnetic field in the cavity is maximum, and rubidium atoms in the gas chamber are fully utilized. At present, the atomic frequency standard microwave cavity mainly comprises a standard cavity and a non-standard cavity. The standard cavity mainly comprises TE011Chamber and TE111The microwave cavity has two types, and the two types of microwave cavities have larger volumes and are not beneficial to the miniaturization of the atomic frequency standard. The non-standard cavity can effectively reduce the size and mainly comprises a magnetic control cavity, a slotted cavity, a rectangular cavity and a coaxial TEM cavity. The magnetron cavity is described by documents G.Mileti, I.Ruedi and H.Schweda, Proc.7th EFTF, 515(1992), the slotted cavity is described by documents GanghuaMei, miniature microwave cavity for atomic frequency analysis and US Patent:6225870B1,2001, the core structure of the two types of microwave cavities is a circular arc-shaped metal pole piece and a narrow groove between the pole pieces, the metal pole piece and the narrow groove form a special L-C structure, and the microwave magnetic field pattern obtained by excitation of the structure is similar to TE011The mode is very favorable for exciting atoms to generate clock transition signals, and is suitable for developing high-performance miniaturized rubidium atom frequency standardThe volume of the wave cavity is still large for subminiature atomic frequency standards. A typical Rectangular Cavity is described in the document H.E.Williams, Compact Rectangular Cavity for Rubidium Vapor Cell Frequency standards.37th annular Symposium on Frequency Control (1983), using TE101The structure is small, but the parallelism of the polarization direction of a microwave magnetic field and a quantization axis is limited, so that the frequency discrimination signal cannot be generated by fully utilizing atoms. A coaxial TEM cavity is described in document j. dune, subminiature microwave cavity, CN1452798A,2003, and this cavity is a lumped L-C structure formed by a conducting rod extending into the cavity and a gap between the rod and the cavity wall to generate resonance, the resonance frequency is mainly determined by the geometric dimension of the conducting rod and the distance from the conducting rod to the cavity wall, and is basically not limited by the size and shape of the cavity, and is suitable for subminiature rubidium atomic frequency standard, but the parallelism of the polarization direction of the microwave magnetic field is not high when the cavity is working, and is not good for exciting atoms to generate clock transition signals.
Disclosure of Invention
