基于超精细跃迁谱的喷泉钟中原子轨道表征

Atomic trajectory characterization in a fountain clock based on the spectrum of a hyperfine transition

Nils Nemitz, Vladislav Gerginov, Robert Wynands, Stefan Weyers

摘要:

本文提出了一种新的方法来确定原子云在与微波场相互作用过程中的位置。从F=3,mF=0到F=4,mF=-1超精细跃迁的光谱中提取位置信息,当磁场C相对于腔轴倾斜几度时,其显示出位置依赖的不对称性。这种光谱不对称性的分析提供了有助于频率测量的原子系综的水平质心位置。在0.1 mm量级的不确定性下,所获得的信息对于限制由于分布腔相位梯度引起的系统不确定性是有用的。通过实验证明了新方法的有效性。

英文摘要:

We describe a new method to determine the position of the atomic cloud during its interaction with the microwave field in the cavity of a fountain clock. The positional information is extracted from the spectrum of the F=3,mF=0 to F=4,mF=-1 hyperfine transition, which shows a position dependent asymmetry when the magnetic C-field is tilted by a few degrees with respect to the cavity axis. Analysis of this spectral asymmetry provides the horizontal center-of-mass position for the ensemble of atoms contributing to frequency measurements. With an uncertainty on the order of 0.1 mm, the obtained information is useful for putting limits on the systematic uncertainty due to distributed cavity phase gradients. The validity of the new method is demonstrated through experimental evidence.
