摘要:

利用一维原子冷却原理,数值研究了一种提高连续波激光导引星光子返回通量的方法。该方法依赖于在钠原子的速度由于反冲而改变之后使激光器朝向更高频率啁啾,这提高了多普勒分布内可用于激光激发的原子数。这种效应的效率随着中间层中两个原子碰撞之间的原子激发的平均数而增长。我们找到的参数,最大限度地提高返回通量和评估的性能啁啾在拉帕尔马的操作。根据我们的模拟,最佳的啁啾率位于0.8-1.0 MHz/ $μ$ s之间,并且钠导星的荧光增加高达60%可以用当前的20 W级导星激光器实现。

英文摘要:

We numerically study a method to increase the photon return flux of continuous-wave laser guide stars using one-dimensional atomic cooling principles. The method relies on chirping the laser towards higher frequencies following the change in velocity of sodium atoms due to recoil, which raises atomic populations available for laser excitation within the Doppler distribution. The efficiency of this effect grows with the average number of atomic excitations between two atomic collisions in the mesosphere. We find the parameters for maximizing the return flux and evaluate the performance of chirping for operation at La Palma. According to our simulations, the optimal chirp rate lies between 0.8-1.0 MHz/$μ$s and an increase in the fluorescence of the sodium guide star up to 60% can be achieved with current 20 W-class guide star lasers.
