Description

Annular laser magnetometer
Technical field
The invention belongs to low-intensity magnetic field and magnetic field of the earth component measurement instrument.
Background technology
Magnetometer is widely used in departments such as geology, geophysics, military affairs.Present component magnetometer mainly contains two kinds of flux-gate magnetometer and magnetic balances.The former is made of the permalloy ring that is with two skew coils (or rod), by the harmonic measure terrestrial magnetic field of induction electromotive force.Magnetic balance is made up of a ferromagnetic material, surveys the terrestrial magnetic field size by this material stressed size in the terrestrial magnetic field.These two kinds of component magnetometer precision and degree of stability are not high, and the raising again of sensitivity is also met difficulty.
Summary of the invention
Purpose of the present invention is intended to make the component magnetometer that a kind of high stability or high sensitivity or both have concurrently, is used for geomagnetic field measuring.
Core of the present invention is that the susceptibility of four frequency loop lasers of diagonal angle speed sensitive is done radical change, develops into a low-intensity magnetic field sensor.
The annular laser magnetometer sonde configuration is consulted accompanying drawing 1.
Four corner reflectors (M1), (M2), (M3), (M4) place on four angles of a rectangle, and its reflecting surface normal and right angle bisector overlap.The kapillary axis of two He-Ne laser gain pipes (A1), (A2) and rectangle two opposite side overlap, (B) be the quartz crystal of 4817 millimeters of block lengths, (c) be long several centimetres to tens a centimetres flint glass, magneto-optic memory technique rod (111) (111) Gd such as terbium glass 3Ga 5O 12On the substrate (BiTm) of liquid phase epitaxy 3(FeGa) 3O 12Deng monocrystal thin films, (M5), (M6) be two completely reflecting mirrors, the light that will advance counterclockwise and the light of advancing clockwise reflex on (M7) respectively.(M7) be that semi-transparent semi-reflecting lens is used for mixing light of advancing counterclockwise and the light of advancing clockwise, and mixed light is divided into two bundles.(D1), (D2) is by a slice quarter-wave plate and the wave filter that polariscope is formed.(E1), (E2) is photelectric receiver.(G1), (G2) is amplifier.(H) be microprocessor system.
Its principle of work is as follows: above-mentioned four corner reflectors constitute the rectangular laser resonator cavity, laser gain pipe (A1), (A2) provide amplification to light, quartz crystal (B) makes and forms left-handed garden polarized light and dextrorotation garden polarized light in the loop, dextrorotation garden polarized light and left-handed garden polarized light have two bundles respectively again: a branch of light and a branch of light that moves counterclockwise along loop that moves clockwise along loop, they are defined as positive rotation and negative rotation light concerning magnetic field, just, negative rotation light has different optical path differences, light path extent to be proportional to magnetic field of the earth projection h on the light path in material c when being in big length (1) magneto-optic memory technique (c) in the magnetic field.By the loop light path must be wavelength integral multiple principle, and positive and negative optically-active will have different wavelength, and different frequencies is also promptly arranged, and this difference on the frequency is proportional to magnetic field of the earth h.Record difference on the frequency and also just known the size of h.It both had been included in the clockwise light of dextrorotation, in the light frequency difference that dextrorotation is counterclockwise, was also contained in left-handed clockwise light, in the left-handed counterclockwise light frequency difference.
The measurement of difference on the frequency is realized by following structure:
The light of advancing counterclockwise arrives (M5) after (M3) outgoing and arrives (M7) again, clockwise the light built of row arrives (M6) after (M3) outgoing and arrives (M7) again, the laser that all contains four kinds of compositions from the two-beam of (M7) outgoing: left-handed clockwise garden polarized light, left-handed counterclockwise garden polarized light, the clockwise garden of dextrorotation polarized light, dextrorotation is counterclockwise garden polarized light.Wave filter (D1), (D2) allow right-handed rotation (comprising a positive rotation and a negative rotation light) and left-handed rotation (comprising a positive rotation and a negative rotation light) to pass through respectively, two emergent lights form " photo-beat " on its path of passing through, the frequency of " photo-beat " is the difference on the frequency of positive and negative optically-active, characterizes the size of geomagnetic field component h.Two photo-beats are received by photelectric receiver (E1), (E2) respectively, send into after amplifying through amplifier (G1), (G2) and pray for the processor numeration, and the numeration of laevorotatory numeration and right-handed rotation summation, be converted into the size in magnetic field at last.Left-handed rotation counting and the summation of right-handed rotation counting have not only improved sensitivity, and have eliminated the influence of bright wrong your stream and the zero migration that earth rotation is introduced.
Annular laser magnetometer sensitivity principle formula is provided by following formula:
Fh=(2cvl/πl)h
In the formula: Fh---the numeration of annular laser magnetometer output;
C---the light velocity;
The optical path length of L---loop;
V---Verdet constant;
The length of l---faraday magneto-optical materials;
H---tested projection amount on the light path in faraday magneto-optical materials.
The present invention is for making ring laser insensitive such as factors such as angular velocity, temperature, magnetic field sensitively only,
Embodiment
1, long for the stabilized lasers resonator cavity, two corner reflectors are fixed on the devitrified glass piece, and other two corner reflectors are attached to earlier on the piezoelectric ceramics, are fixed on piezoelectric ceramics on the above-mentioned devitrified glass piece again and above-mentioned two corner reflectors composition rectangular laser resonator cavity.Add a variable voltage on piezoelectric ceramics, the change that comes stable resonator length to cause because of variation of ambient temperature is shortened in the elongation of voltage control wound piezoelectric ceramics thus.The size of voltage is provided by closed circuit left-handed garden polarized light and dextrorotation garden polarized light light intensity difference frequency stabilizing method.
