Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of laser power control, in particular to a system and a method for stabilizing cooling laser power of a cold atom interferometer.

Background

With the development of cold atom technology, cold atom interferometers have been used to measure physical quantities such as physical constants, gravitational acceleration, gravitational gradient, rotation, and the like with high accuracy.

The working process of the cold atom interferometer can be divided into four stages: the method comprises a cold atom trapping stage, a cold atom casting stage, a cold atom interference stage and an interference signal detection stage. According to the working requirement of the cold atom interferometer, cooling laser beams are needed to be used for cold atom trapping and projection, wherein the frequency and the power of the cooling laser beams in the trapping stage can influence the position and the atom number of the trapped cold atom groups, the frequency of the cooling laser beams in the projection stage is changed, the cold atom groups move under the action of the cooling laser beams, the final speed of the cold atom groups depends on the variation of the frequency of the cooling laser beams, the speed direction depends on the power of the cooling laser beams, and therefore the frequency and the power of the laser beams can be required to be completely and independently adjusted between each pair of cooling laser beams of the cold atom interferometer.

Most of the existing cold atom interferometers adopt three pairs of cooling laser beams to imprison and cast cold atom groups. The three pairs of cooling laser beams are generated by the same laser, the laser generated by the laser is split by using a polarization beam splitter prism and a wave plate in a constructed light path, and the three split laser beams generate diffraction laser by using three acousto-optic modulators respectively; the diffraction laser beam output by each acousto-optic modulator is divided into 1: the laser beam splitter of 1 generates three pairs of laser beams as cooling laser beam pairs of the cold atom interferometer. The independent control of the three acousto-optic modulators can ensure the complete independent adjustment of the three pairs of laser beams, but the defect of unstable laser power is obvious: firstly, the power of laser output laser and polarization state's unstability, laser power after the beam splitting can be unstable, secondly because the difference of the characteristic of acousto-optic modulator itself, the relative incident laser power of diffraction laser power of its outgoing has certain loss and unstability, thirdly, after acousto-optic modulator's outgoing laser got into the beam splitter through the mode of coupling, the mechanical characteristic of coupling structure can lead to coupling efficiency to change, and then the power that the cooling laser beam that leads to the beam splitting output right also can change. The unstable power of the cooling laser beam can cause the unstable cold atom group trapping position and moving speed direction when the cold atom interferometer works, and influence is brought to the measurement result of the cold atom interferometer.

Detailed Description

The principles and features of this invention are described below in conjunction with the following drawings, which are set forth by way of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

On one hand, the invention provides a cooling laser power stabilization system of a cold atom interferometer as shown in fig. 1, which comprises an acousto-optic modulator 1, a laser coupler 2, a laser beam splitter 3 and an optical power feedback control unit 4, wherein the acousto-optic modulator 1, the laser coupler 2, the laser beam splitter 3 and the optical power feedback control unit 4 are sequentially connected through an optical path, the input end of the optical power feedback control unit 4 is connected with the laser beam splitter 3, and the output end of the optical power feedback control unit is connected with the acousto-optic modulator 1;

the acousto-optic modulator 1 modulates input laser through a control signal to control the output power of the laser;

the laser coupler 2 realizes the coupling of laser;

the laser beam splitter 3 emits two cooling laser beam pairs and monitoring laser beams of the cold atom interferometer, and the power of the two cooling laser beam pairs is the same as that of the monitoring laser beams;

the optical power feedback control unit 4 detects the laser real-time output power value of the monitoring laser beam and outputs a control signal for driving the acousto-optic modulator 1.

As shown in fig. 1, the optical power feedback control unit 4 includes an optical power monitoring module 41, a controller 42, a direct frequency synthesizer 43, and a power amplifier 44, where an input of the optical power monitoring module 41 is connected to an output of the laser beam splitter 3 through an optical path, and the controller 42 is in communication connection with the optical power monitoring module 41 and the direct frequency synthesizer 43 through digital interfaces, respectively, so that the anti-interference capability of the system can be effectively improved through the digital interfaces, and the stability of the system is provided. The output of the direct frequency synthesizer 43 is signal-connected to the power amplifier 44, and the output of the power amplifier 44 is signal-connected to the acousto-optic modulator 1.

The optical power monitoring module 41 converts the optical signal of the monitoring laser beam into an electrical signal to measure the real-time laser output power value, and transmits the real-time laser output power value to the controller 42.

And the controller 42 calculates the laser real-time output power value, a prestored laser power threshold value and a prestored monitoring power reference value, and outputs a control signal with an adjusted amplitude value.

Specifically, the controller 42 first compares the laser real-time output power with a pre-stored laser power threshold: if the laser real-time output power is greater than the laser power threshold, calculating an adjusting power value by the laser real-time output power and the monitoring power reference value through a PID algorithm, and adjusting the amplitude of a laser control signal output by the controller 42 by using the adjusting power value; if the real-time laser output power is not greater than the laser power threshold, another preset power reference value is used to adjust the amplitude of the laser control signal, and meanwhile, an alarm flag bit of the controller 42 is set and alarm information is sent. If the real-time laser output power is not greater than the laser power threshold, which usually indicates that cooling laser is blocked or the total input laser power is attenuated, the optical power feedback control unit 4 automatically stops working and gives an alarm to prompt, and after the blocking object is removed or the real-time laser output power is restored to the set threshold, the optical power feedback control unit 4 restores working, so that intelligent feedback control is realized.

The direct frequency synthesizer 43 converts the control signal into a control signal having a specific frequency and outputs the control signal. The direct frequency synthesizer 43 is preset with an output frequency of the control signal, and the control signal amplitude-modulated by the controller 42 is frequency-modulated and sent to the power amplifier 44 in the next step.

The power amplifier 44 amplifies the control signal and transmits the amplified control signal to the acousto-optic modulator 1, so as to drive the acousto-optic modulator 1 to modulate laser.

The amplified control signal drives the acousto-optic modulator 1 to modulate laser so as to control the output power of the laser.

As shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, the optical power monitoring module 41 includes a photodetector 411, a signal conditioning module 412, and a signal acquisition and conversion module 413 that are sequentially connected by a coaxial cable, and the signal acquisition and conversion module 413 is connected with the controller 42 by a digital interface. And the anti-interference capability of the system can be effectively improved by adopting coaxial cable connection and digital interface connection.

The photodetector 411 collects the optical signal of the monitoring laser beam and converts it into an electrical signal corresponding to the real-time laser output power;

the signal conditioning module 412 isolates, converts, amplifies and outputs the electrical signal to the signal acquisition and conversion module 413;

the signal collecting and converting module 413 collects the electrical signal, performs analog/digital conversion on the electrical signal, and outputs the electrical signal to the controller 42.

Further, the direct frequency synthesizer 43 and the power amplifier 44, and the power amplifier 44 and the acousto-optic modulator 1 are connected by coaxial cables, respectively. The adoption of the coaxial cable can effectively improve the anti-interference performance of signals.

Further, the controller 42 is in communication connection with the upper computer 5, and parameters of the controller 42 are set through the upper computer 5. In this embodiment, through the connection between the upper computer 5 and the controller 42, the upper computer 5 may initialize the entire system, set various parameters of the system, such as the output frequency of the direct frequency synthesizer 43, the preset power reference value when the optical power feedback control unit 4 is not turned on, the monitoring power reference value when the optical power feedback control unit 4 is turned on, and the laser power threshold, and upload and store the monitoring data.

In this embodiment, when the acousto-optic modulator 1 modulates the laser, the output power of the cooling laser beam pair is consistent with the output power of the monitoring laser beam. The power values of the cooling laser beam pairs of the two cold atom interferometers can be synchronously controlled by detecting and controlling the power of the monitoring laser beam.

In this embodiment, the cooling laser power stabilization system further includes a cold atom interferometer main control system, and the cold atom interferometer main control system controls the on/off of the optical power feedback control unit 4 by sending an interrupt signal: when the interrupt signal is at a high level, the optical power feedback control unit 4 is turned off; and when the interrupt signal is at a low level, the optical power feedback control unit 4 is turned on.

In more detail, as shown in fig. 3, the cold atom interferometer master control system is communicatively connected to the controller 42 through the upper computer 5. And an interrupt signal generated by the cold atom interferometer master control system is high-level effective, the optical power feedback control unit 4 is closed when the interrupt signal is effective, and the optical power feedback control unit 4 is started when the interrupt signal is ineffective. The generation process of the interrupt signal generated by the cold atom interferometer master control system comprises the following steps: the intensity curve 521 of the cooling laser when the cold atom interferometer is operating is shown in fig. 3, the minimum value of which is zero, and the interrupt signal 511 sent to the optical power feedback control unit 4 when the cold atom interferometer is operating is shown in fig. 3. The high-level effective state of the interrupt signal, the working stages of the cold atom interferometer are an atom trapping working stage 501, an atom casting working stage 502, a polarization gradient cooling working stage 503, a cooling laser closing stage 504 and a repeated trapping working stage 505 respectively. In combination with the specific requirements of the cold atom interferometer, the interrupt signal 511 is given in two stages, namely a polarization gradient cooling working stage 503 and a cooling laser closing stage 504; at the moment, the power of the cooling laser of the cold atom interferometer can be greatly changed and finally closed, and the power is not required to be stabilized at the stage; and an atom trapping working stage 501, an atom casting working stage 502 and a repeated trapping working stage 505, the optical power feedback control unit 4 works normally to ensure the stability of the cold atom trapping position and the stability of the casting speed.

On the other hand, based on the cooling laser power stabilizing system of the cold atom interferometer, the invention provides a cooling laser power stabilizing method of the cold atom interferometer, which specifically comprises the following steps:

s1, performing system initialization by the upper computer 5, presetting a preset power reference value P1 when the laser power stabilization function is turned off (i.e., the feedback function of the optical power feedback control unit 4 is turned off), and presetting a monitoring power reference value P2 and a laser power threshold PT when the laser power stabilization function is turned on (i.e., the feedback function of the optical power feedback control unit 4 is turned on), and also presetting an output frequency value of the direct frequency synthesizer 43;

s2, judging whether to start the laser power stabilization function (namely the feedback function of the optical power feedback control unit 4) through an interrupt signal sent by the cold atom interferometer main control system;

s3, if the interrupt signal is high level, which indicates that the laser power stabilization function is not started, adjusting the amplitude of the laser control signal by using the preset power reference value P1 as a reference;

s4, if the interrupt signal is low level, starting the laser power stabilization function, detecting the laser real-time output power P of the monitoring laser beam, and comparing the laser real-time output power P with the laser power threshold PT: if the laser real-time output power P is greater than the laser power threshold PT, taking the laser real-time output power P and the monitoring power reference value P2 as the inputs of PID control in the controller 42, calculating an adjusting power value P 'through a PID algorithm, and adjusting the amplitude of the laser control signal by taking the adjusting power value P' as a reference; if the real-time laser output power P is not greater than the laser power threshold PT, the amplitude of the laser control signal is adjusted by using the preset power reference value P1 as a reference, and meanwhile, an alarm flag bit of the system is set and alarm information is sent out.

And S5, taking the power value reference obtained in the step S3 or the step S4 as the input of the direct frequency synthesizer 43, adjusting the amplitude of the laser control signal by the direct frequency synthesizer 43 through the power value reference, outputting an amplitude-modulated control signal with a fixed output frequency, and amplifying the control signal to drive the acousto-optic modulator 1 to modulate the input laser, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the power of the laser.

In this embodiment, the laser power is controlled by adjusting the amplitude of the laser control signal.

The process of laser power stabilization adjustment is now further described in conjunction with the flow chart of fig. 4. As shown in fig. 4, the flow of the stable adjustment of the cooling laser power of the cold atom interferometer is as follows: when the system starts to work, step 01 is executed, system initialization is performed, the upper computer 5 performs initialization configuration on the controller 42, configuration parameters include the output frequency of the direct frequency synthesizer 43, a preset power reference value P1, a monitoring power reference value P2 of a monitoring laser beam when the optical power feedback control unit 4 works and a laser power threshold value PT, and the controller 42 programs the direct frequency synthesizer 43 according to the initialization configuration parameters; step 02: judging whether power stabilization of laser is needed or not through an interrupt signal sent by a master control system of the cold atom interferometer, executing step 03 if the power stabilization of the laser is needed, and returning to step 02 if the power stabilization of the laser is not needed; step 03: when the interrupt signal of the cold atom interferometer main control system is not received, executing step 04; step 04: step 05 is executed after the acquisition of the laser real-time output power P of the monitoring laser beam is completed; step 05: judging whether the acquired data is larger than the laser power threshold PT set in the step 01, and executing a step 061 if the acquired data is larger than the laser power threshold PT; step 061: calculating the deviation between the collected data and the monitoring power reference value P2 set in the step 01, and calculating the adjusting power value P' of the direct frequency synthesizer 43 to be adjusted through a PID algorithm; after step 061 is executed, step 07 is executed, the direct frequency synthesizer 43 is programmed with the adjustment power value P' obtained in step 061, a laser control signal with the frequency after amplitude modulation being the output frequency preset in step 01 is output, and the acousto-optic modulator 1 is driven by using the laser control signal to adjust the power value of the laser, so that the laser forms a cooling laser beam pair of two cold atom interferometers through the laser beam splitter 3 and the monitoring laser beam reaches a predetermined value.

When the real-time laser output power P is attenuated or blocked due to external factors, step 04 also completes the acquisition of the real-time laser output power P of the monitoring laser beam, and the value is lower than the laser power threshold PT set in step 01, at this time, step 05 cannot meet the requirement of executing step 061, and step 062 is executed; in the step 062, the preset power reference value P1 set in the step 01 is read out and directly used as an input power value for adjusting the direct frequency synthesizer 43, and meanwhile, an alarm flag bit of the controller 42 is set to send out corresponding alarm information; after the operation is completed, step 07 is executed, the preset power reference value P1 obtained in step 062 is used to program and control the direct frequency synthesizer 43, a laser control signal with the frequency after amplitude modulation being the output frequency preset in step 01 is output, and the acousto-optic modulator 1 is driven by using the laser control signal to adjust the power value of the laser, so that the laser forms a cooling laser beam pair of two cold atom interferometers through the laser beam splitter 3 and the monitoring laser beam reaches a preset value.

When the optical power feedback control unit 4 is connected with the cold atom interferometer main control system, the optical power feedback control unit 4 receives an interrupt control signal of the cold atom interferometer main control system; step 03, judging whether the current control period receives an interrupt control signal sent by a cold atom interferometer main control system; if the interrupt control signal is received (i.e. the interrupt signal is at a high level), step 02 is executed, at this time, the laser power stabilization function (i.e. the feedback function of the optical power feedback control unit 4 is turned off) is suspended, the laser power is cooled to stop the feedback, and at this time, the cold atom interferometer main control system operates the direct frequency synthesizer 43 to complete the functions of rf signal switching, frequency scanning, and the like.

The laser enters a laser coupler 2 for coupling after passing through an acoustic optical modulator 1, the coupled laser forms two cooling laser beam pairs of a cold atom interferometer and monitoring laser through a laser beam splitter 3, the power of the two cooling laser beams is consistent with that of the monitoring laser beam, and the power of the two cooling laser beams can be monitored by feeding back the power of the monitoring laser beam. The optical power feedback control system is connected with the acousto-optic modulator 1 and the laser beam splitter 3, the monitoring laser is detected by the optical power feedback control system and generates a control signal to drive and adjust the acousto-optic modulator 1, the acousto-optic modulator 1 modulates the laser, and then the power of the output laser is controlled, so that the stable closed-loop control of the power of the cooling laser is realized, the long-term stability of the laser power is high, and the stability can reach 0.2%/24 h.
