摘要
受激拉曼绝热输运(STIRAP)是一种有效制备和控制原子态的技术,在原子操控和量子信息中具有重要意义,最近几年得到广泛关注。研制用于特定原子的拉曼激光是实现该过程的重要一步。研究了利用光纤波导调制器及干涉滤波器等组成的系统实现用于铯原子STIRAP过程的光源的方法。通过直接调制高频光纤调制器获得正负一级边带,并利用两个特殊设计的干涉滤波器和高稳定的控温系统,成功地分离出频率相差9.19 GHz的调制边带。边带与载波的对比度达到21 dB。该方法的特点是获得的两束光可以独立控制、失谐量易于精确操控、输出稳定。得到了两边带各120 μW的连续拉曼激光输出,经过独立调制后可广泛应用于原子态的制备和相干操控过程。
Abstract
The stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) is an important technique in controlling the atomic states and it has been widely used in atom manipulation and quantum information. Obtaining Raman laser is the first step to demonstrate the STIRAP for atoms. A system is presented for generating Raman laser for STIRAP process for Cs atom based on waveguide fiber modulation with high frequency and two pieces of interference filter. Two sidebands with frequency difference of exact 9.19 GHz are separated from the carrier and each of them can be controlled independently. The distinction ratio between the sidebands and the carrier is 21 dB. The power of each sideband is about 120 μW and the fluctuation is less than 2% in ten minutes. This system could be used in atomic state preparation and coherent control of the atomic states.
