摘要:

在西澳大学开发的低温蓝宝石振荡器(CSO)现已在世界各地连续运行多年。这种振荡器,由于其优异的光谱纯度是必不可少的询问原子频率标准的量子投影噪声的限制;否则混叠效应将主导频率稳定性,由于原子跃迁的连续询问之间的周期性采样。因此,UWA振荡器现在在NMI(悉尼)、LNE-SYRTE(巴黎)、法国航天局(法国国家空间研究中心,图卢兹)和UWA(珀斯)运行。近年来引起关注的其他应用包括对物理学基本原理的测试,例如洛伦兹不变性的测试。本文报道了这种振荡器的长期运行和性能。我们比较了一些不同的CSO的长期漂移。多年来,漂移率是线性的,并且方向相同。然而,振子之间的震级变化似乎超过一个数量级,范围从每天10^14到每天10^13的几分之一。

英文摘要:

Cryogenic Sapphire Oscillators (CSO) developed at UWA have now been in operation around the world continuously for many years. Such oscillators, due to their excellent spectral purity are essential for interrogating atomic frequency standards at the limit of quantum projection noise; otherwise aliasing effects will dominate the frequency stability due to the periodic sampling between successive interrogations of the atomic transition. For this reason, UWA oscillators are now operational at NMI (Sydney), LNE-SYRTE (Paris), the French Space Agency (CNES, Toulouse) and at UWA (Perth). Other applications, which have attracted attention in recent years, include tests on fundamental principles of physics, such as tests of Lorentz invariance. This paper reports on the long-term operation and performance of such oscillators. We compare the long-term drift of some different CSOs. The drift rates turn out to be linear over many years and in the same direction. However, the magnitude seems to vary by more than one order of magnitude between the oscillators, ranging from 10^14 per day to a few parts in 10^13 per day.
