摘要：
旨在寻找精细结构常数 $α$ 变化的实验，基于微观束缚系统（如原子和离子）的跃迁光谱，或光学腔的共振。这些系统对 $α$ 变化的敏感度通常在 1 的量级，且对于给定系统是固定的。对于重原子、高电荷离子和核跃迁，可以通过利用相对论效应和有利的量子态排列来提高敏感度。本文提出了一种控制宏观物理系统敏感度因子新方法。描述了具有可调 $α$ 敏感度的光学腔的具体概念。这些系统显示出与先前关于宏观系统对 $α$ 变化敏感度的研究（其中敏感度被发现是固定的且从根本上限制在 1 的量级）在性质上不同的特性。尽管本文提出的特定光学腔排列可能达到的实验约束尚未超过目前对 $α$ 变化的最佳约束，但这项工作为开发寻找物理学基本常数变化的新方法铺平了道路。
英文摘要：
Experiments aimed at searching for variations in the fine-structure constant $α$ are based on spectroscopy of transitions in microscopic bound systems, such as atoms and ions, or resonances in optical cavities. The sensitivities of these systems to variations in $α$ are typically on the order of unity and are fixed for a given system. For heavy atoms, highly charged ions and nuclear transitions, the sensitivity can be increased by benefiting from the relativistic effects and favorable arrangement of quantum states. This article proposes a new method for controlling the sensitivity factor of macroscopic physical systems. Specific concepts of optical cavities with tunable sensitivity to $α$ are described. These systems show qualitatively different properties from those of previous studies of the sensitivity of macroscopic systems to variations in $α$, in which the sensitivity was found to be fixed and fundamentally limited to an order of unity. Although possible experimental constraints attainable with the specific optical cavity arrangements proposed in this article do not yet exceed the present best constraints on $α$ variations, this work paves the way for developing new approaches to searching for variations in the fundamental constants of physics.
