Folded optics for batch fabricated atomic sensor |
摘要 |
System and methods for a vacuum cell apparatus for an atomic sensor are provided. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a cell wall encircling an enclosed volume, the cell wall having a first open end and a second open end opposite from the first open end and a first panel over the first open end of the cell wall and having a first surface, the first surface facing the enclosed volume and having a first set of diffractive optics therein. Further, the apparatus comprises a second panel over the second open end of the cell wall and having a second surface, the second surface facing the enclosed volume and having a second set of diffractive optics therein; wherein the first set of diffractive optics and the second of diffractive optics are configured to reflect at least one optical beam within the enclosed volume along a predetermined optical path. |

1. A vacuum cell apparatus for an atomic sensor, the apparatus comprising:
a cell wall surrounding an enclosed volume, the cell wall having a first open end and a second open end opposite from the first open end; a first panel bonded to the first open end of the cell wall and having a first surface, the first surface facing the enclosed volume and having a first set of diffractive optics formed within the first panel; and a second panel bonded to the second open end of the cell wall and having a second surface, the second surface facing the enclosed volume and having a second set of diffractive optics formed within the second panel; wherein the first set of diffractive optics and the second set of diffractive optics are configured to reflect a plurality of optical beams within the enclosed volume along a plurality of optical paths, wherein each optical beam in the plurality of optical beams is introduced into the enclosed volume through one of the first panel and the second panel. |
