Embodiment
The purpose of this utility model is the method that proposes a kind of photon sequence high precision time of arrival, continuous coverage.Photon is when time of arrival, measurement range was wide, realization is to each photon high precision time of arrival, uninterrupted measurement continuously in the photon sequence, overcome in the existing time-correlated single photon counting t, photon measurement range time of arrival is narrow, can not realize the deficiency of aspects such as continuous coverage.By data processing to each photon time of arrival in the photon sequence, can obtain the multiple information of incident light, comprise the time dependent character of light intensity, the character of distribution of photons etc.Therefore the utility model has important use in quantum optics in the fundamental researchs such as pulsar navigation.The utility model uses different detectors except being used for the measurement of time of arrival of photon sequence, can also realize particle flux such as high-energy photon, electronics, charged particle time of arrival continuously, high-acruracy survey.Therefore the utility model can be used for high-energy physics, fields such as survey of deep space, spectral measurement and bioluminescence detection.
The utility model proposes the photon sequence method for continuous measuring of time of arrival, this method as shown in Figure 1, by single-photon detector, prime amplifier, constant fraction discriminator (CFD), atomic clock, (time-to-digit converter) TDC, quartz crystal oscillator, frequency multiplier, controller, counter, first memory, second memory, Computer Communications Interface and computing machine constitute.Single-photon detector output single photon pulses enters constant fraction discriminator (CFD) output digital pulse signal through prime amplifier, constant fraction discriminator (CFD) output terminal is connected with controller, the pulse signal of atomic clock output is the counting object of counter, the rising edge of the square-wave pulse of atomic clock output is time-to-digit converter (TDC) start signal, the rising edge of constant fraction discriminator output digital pulse signal is the stop signal of time-to-digit converter (TDC), when controller receives the rising edge of constant fraction discriminator output signal in the control counter in bigness scale time and time-to-digit converter (TDC) buffer memory the thin time synchronized of surveying deposit storage unit in, clock drive unit drives counter, digital quantizer (TDC), controller and the work of storage unit fast synergistic, bigness scale time in the storage unit and thin survey time export by computing machine.
Single-photon detector output single photon pulses through behind the prime amplifier, enters constant fraction discriminator (CFD), and the somewhere that CFD is chosen in pulse height produces as timing point, the timing signal pulse that the photon of output arrives.The method that the measurement of photon time of arrival adopts thick time measurement and thin time measurement to combine.By the thick time of counting measurement of photon to arrive to the recurrent pulses of the high frequency stability of the output of atomic clock.The thin time that the time interval of adopting TDC to come timing pip that measurement of photon arrives and atomic clock to export pulse recently arrives as photon.Controller deposits bigness scale time in the counter and the thin survey time in the TDC buffer memory in the first in first out storage unit synchronously, and storage unit adopts the mode that two storeies switch to realize, realizes thick time and the thin time of continuous, unlimited recording light subsequence.Quartz crystal oscillator produces high-frequency clock through after the frequency multiplication, and fast synergistic work such as actuation counter, TDC, controller and storer realize data stream at a high speed.By communication interface the data read in the storer is arrived computing machine, store then and handle, obtain the time of arrival of each photon in the photon sequence.
The utility model also provides a kind of photon sequence method for continuous measuring of time of arrival: concrete steps are as follows:
1) begins to measure, determine the starting point of measurement time of arrival of photon sequence
In the time will beginning to measure, by manual triggers or external trigger, the RESTART signal of the beginning measuring command that introducing and atomic clock input pulse rising edge are synchronous.The rising edge of RESTART signal is to the zero clearing that resets of counter and time-to-digit converter, and the rising edge of RESTART signal is the common initial moment of all photons time of arrival in the photon sequence.
2] produce the timing signal that photon arrives
Penetrating light when very faint, incident light can be regarded the photon sequence of series of discrete as, when photon detecting, electronic impulse of single-photon detector output, each pulse representative detects a photon, because the electronic impulse amplitude that detector is directly exported is very little, therefore adopt prime amplifier that signal is amplified, enter constant fraction discriminator CFD then, the effect of constant fraction discriminator CFD is selected at somewhere in the electronic impulse as the timing point, produces digital trigger pulse.This trigger pulse arrives timing signal as single photon, the time that on behalf of photon, its rising edge arrive.Constant fraction discriminator CFD triggers when pulse height ratio is constant, has avoided detector directly to export the timing error that the electronic impulse amplitude jitter causes.
Single-photon detector can adopt photomultiplier PMT, and microchannel plate MCP, avalanche photodide APD etc., constant fraction discriminator CFD generally use more in high-energy physics, the CFD85 of commercial constant fraction discriminator CFD such as ORTECT company
3] the bigness scale time of record photon arrival.
Adopt atomic clock (as rubidium atomic clock, cesium-beam atomic clock, hydrogen atomic clock) the periodic square wave pulse of output high frequency stability is after beginning to measure, the rising edge of RESTART signal is to counter O reset, and counter is started from scratch to the pulse of atomic clock output and counted.When detecting photon, the photon that produces in the step 1 arrives timing signal flip-flop number output count value to first memory or second memory.The bigness scale time that on behalf of photon, the count value of counter output just arrive.
The figure place of counter is determining the measurement range of bigness scale time, and rubidium atomic clock has 1M, and three kinds of frequency outputs of 5M or 10M if counter is set to 36, are counted by the rubidium atomic clock output pulse to 1M, and measurement range can reach 19.09 hours.The frequency stability of atomic clock output is very high, and as commercial rubidium atomic clock, frequency stability can reach 10 -11Differed approximately 1 second in promptly 300 years.Therefore the bigness scale time can reach very high measuring accuracy.Therefore with less data volume, accurately write down long measurement range, improved counting rate.
4] the thin survey time of record photon arrival.
TDC can measure initial START signal accurately and stop time interval between the STOP signal.The thin time that the utility model adopts time-to-digit converter TDC to come measurement of photon to arrive, concrete grammar is the initial START signal of the pulse of atomic clock output as time-to-digit converter TDC, and single photon arrives timing signal as the STOP signal.When detecting photon, the photon that produces in the step 1 arrives the STOP that timing signal triggers TDC, this moment, the START signal of TDC was that single photon arrives before the timing signal, the pulse of the nearest output of atomic clock output, time-to-digit converter is converted into digital quantity with the time interval between commencing signal and stop signal and is stored in the buffer memory of TDC inside, the thin survey time that on behalf of photon, this digital quantity arrive.
TDC can adopt the TDC chip of commercial usefulness, and as the TDC-GPX of ACAM company, it is operated in M mode time precision can reach 10 psecs.Measurement range is 0~10 microsecond, and TDC also can adopt FPGA to realize that precision can reach tens psecs.
5] bigness scale time of unlimited recording light subsequence and carefully surveying the time continuously.
When detecting photon, the photon that produces in the step 1 arrives timing signal and triggers controller, controller receives that whenever a photon arrives the rising edge of timing signal pulse, just the thin survey of representative time value in the digital quantity of representing the bigness scale time value in the counter and the TDC buffer memory is got digital quantity and deposit the existing storer that advances to go out earlier synchronously in, storer adopts first memory and second memory switching mode to realize unlimited record.Concrete grammar is from when detecting photon, first memory begins to store the bigness scale time and the thin survey time of photon sequence, when first memory is expired, controller switches to the second memory opening entry, and the while reads into the data of first memory on calculator memory or the hard disk by computer interface concurrently.When in like manner second memory had been expired, controller switched to the first memory opening entry, and the while reads into the data of second memory on calculator memory or the hard disk by computer interface concurrently.Computing machine or hard disk have enough spaces to store data.
6] expedited flow
Through after the frequency multiplication, as drive clock, actuation counter, TDC, controller, push-up storage improve the processing speed of step 2 to step 4 with quartz crystal oscillator, and expedited flow improves counting rate.Can reach the clock output of 200M as the quartz crystal oscillator of 50M frequency after through 4 frequencys multiplication, only need 2 clock period owing to read the thin time value of buffer memory among the thick time value of counter and the TDC and deposit push-up storage.Therefore the utility model can reach the counting rate of 100M.
Frequency multiplication to the crystal oscillator signal generally can adopt the module of fpga chip inside to realize that the frequency multiplication mechanism that the FPGA of different producers realizes is not quite similar, and realizes frequency multiplication as the fpga chip of Xinlinx company with inner DCM (digital dock management) module.The FPGA of altera corp adopts PLL (phaselocked loop) to realize frequency multiplication.
7] time of arrival of each photon in the calculating photon sequence
The cycle of bigness scale time=count value * atomic clock output pulse
The precision of value * TDC in thin survey time=TDC buffer memory
Photon reach time=bigness scale time+carefully survey the time
Computer software is handled the data that read in real time, and utilizes with co-relation, calculates the time of arrival of each photon in the photon sequence.
By data processing to each photon time of arrival in the photon sequence, can obtain the multiple information of incident light, comprise the time dependent character of light intensity, the character of distribution of photons etc.Therefore the utility model has important use in quantum optics in the fundamental researchs such as quantum communications.The utility model uses different detectors except being used for the measurement of time of arrival of photon sequence, can also realize particle flux such as high-energy photon, electronics, charged particle time of arrival continuously, high-acruracy survey.Therefore the utility model can be used for high-energy physics, fields such as survey of deep space, spectral measurement and bioluminescence detection.
