OPTICAL MODULE FOR ATOMIC OSCILLATOR AND ATOMIC OSCILLATOR

摘要

An optical module for an atomic oscillator using a quantum interference effect includes a light source part to emit resonant light having two different wavelengths, a gas cell in which an alkali metal atom gas is enclosed and to which the resonant light is irradiated, a light detection part to detect an intensity of the resonant light transmitted through the gas cell, and a gas-flow generation part to generate a flow of the alkali metal atom gas.

1. An optical module for an atomic oscillator using a quantum interference effect, comprising:
a light source part to emit resonant light having two different wavelengths; a gas cell in which an alkali metal atom gas is enclosed and to which the resonant light is irradiated; a light detection part to detect an intensity of the resonant light transmitted through the gas cell; and a gas-flow generation part to generate a flow of the alkali metal atom gas, wherein a gas flow direction of the alkali metal atom gas generated by the gas-flow generation part is parallel to a resonant light traveling direction in the gas cell.
