冷原子光栅芯片的优化方法
Optimization Methods for Cold-atom Grating Chip
摘要
Abstract
Magneto-optical trap(MOT)technology confines atoms by exciting σ+and σ-transitions.However,in traditional grating magneto-optical traps(GMOT),limitations arise due to the uneven distribution of the force field acting on the atoms and the impact of polarization errors in the zeroth-order light on the atomic force.To address these issues,a novel grating chip design is proposed.The chip integrates a quarter-wave plate mirror internally,while the external structure consists of a conventional diffraction grating.After reflecting off the internal quarter-wave plate mirror,the incident light is converted into pure circular polarization aligned with the polarization direction of the incoming light.The external incident light undergoes diffraction through the grating.This design enhances the atomic force within the MOT and effectively eliminate the interference from zeroth-order light in the diffracted beam on the optical molasses.Calculations indicate that the new grating chip improves the maximum capture velocity by approximately 1.4 m/s compared to the traditional grating chip.关键词
