Description
(rubidium-Rb, atom resonance light filter-ARF) relate to optics, radio electronics and atom, molecular physics is particularly useful for the filtering device in the laser communication to a kind of active rubidium atom resonance light filter of the present invention.
Filtering device is widely used in the laser communication, and the situation of prior art is:
1. traditional optical filter is because wide bandwidth and low transmitance can not be satisfied with the requirement that laser communication works by day.
2. the Rb-ARF that has studied and demonstrated, one is to use dye laser or semiconductor laser as exciting the pumping source of Rb ground state atom to 5P excited state, does not also have practicality; Two are to use pure Rb sample, and conversion efficiency is lower.The active Rb-ARF of the fluorescent type of dye laser or diode-end-pumped, although have very high pumping efficiency,, the former is bulky, only is suitable under lab carrying out determining and the usefulness of atom filter The Characteristic Study of physical parameter.The latter's problem is: a, domesticly there are not the semiconductor laser commodity of suitable Rb wavelength to obtain, and need be from foreign procurement; B, wavelength stabilized laser are relatively poor, impracticable (this point is proved to be in atomic frequency standard, and the atomic frequency standard of laser pump (ing) so far still fails to reach the practical stage).
3. the active thallium ARF of fluorescent type is for yarding up 6
2P
3/2The atom metastable state has also used spectrum lamp to carry out pumping, but its operation wavelength and Rb-ARF are inequality, can not directly replace Rb-ARF, and, in order to satisfy the metastable condition of atom that produces, the thallium steam bubble can only keep low-down atomicity density, and therefore, output signal strength is restricted.
This shows that use traditional optical filter, the laser light communication system can only worked at night.In order to guarantee that laser light communication can carry out by day, then require to use more high efficiency filtering device.With interference filter (film, polarization etc.) compare with birefringent filter, ARF has big acceptance angle, narrower bandwidth and the characteristics such as optical filtering efficient of Geng Gao.Although present Rb-ARF makes that the laser light communication system by day also can operate as normal, because the commodity device that do not meet the demands can obtain, and the traditional design scheme is directly used in laser communication and still has problems such as huge, the impracticable or conversion efficiency of device is lower.
Purpose of the present invention just is to overcome problems of the prior art and deficiency, and research and build a kind of Rb-ARF of active, highly effective.
The object of the present invention is achieved like this:
The present invention uses the Rb-ARF of electrodless discharge Rb spectrum lamp pumping.The use of Rb spectrum lamp in the Rb atomic frequency standard shown its practicality: the spectral purity height, radiation frequency is stable, volume is little, the life-span is long, the present invention is easy to and miscellaneous part makes up.For the Rb steam bubble, our size of main body of design is Φ 18 * 40mm, and the bubble tail of Φ a 5 * 50mm is arranged, and it guarantees that Rb steam conversion quantum efficiency is 28%.The optical maser wavelength of its wavelength and frequency multiplication Nd:YAG laser instrument (YAG crystal bar working temperature is 102 ℃) matches, but both couplings are one of selection schemes of Submarine Laser Communication.The present invention mainly is made up of electrodless discharge Rb spectrum lamp and atom steam bubble, and its principle of work is: at first allow electrodless discharge Rb spectrum lamp Rb D

3/2Excited state, Rb-ARF is in running order.When the incoming signal that matches with Rb atom highly excited level energy level spectral line during by the Rb steam bubble, excite S or D attitude behind the Rb atomic absorption signal photon from the 5P energy level transition to height, then, excited state Rb atomic radiation relaxation is got back to ground state through the nP attitude, by the atom internal conversion, comprise all information of signal in the atomic fluorescence of output.In extremely narrow atom live width, produce high permeability, and strong background noise is produced high the inhibition.Excite the transition of S attitude or D attitude from the 5P energy level to height, wherein making us interested especially is that operation wavelength is 532nm (5P
1/2-10S
1/2) Rb-ARF, its response time is a hundreds of ns magnitude, theoretical pure Rb atom steam bubble has a long mission life.Add the design of double furnace, duration of work can make the atomicity density constant of Rb steam bubble.In order to improve the detection sensitivity of Rb-ARF, we have used Rb steam to add molecule gas (H
2Perhaps CO) mixing.
Advantage of the present invention or good effect are:
1. owing to have the super-narrow line width light-filtering characteristic, make the laser light communication system can carry out operate as normal by day.
2. use electrodless discharge Rb spectrum lamp as pumping source, reduced the volume and weight of device, simplified the structure of device, make the present invention have practicality; 2. in atom resonance light filter (ARF) research, use the non-impurity-doped sample usually.We add convenient pressure H to bubble on the basis of studying atom and atom, the transfer of molecular collision energy
