Description

Method and system for aligning pumping laser and background magnetic field for nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of inertial measurement sensors, and particularly relates to a method and a system for aligning pumping laser and a background magnetic field for a nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope.
Background
The nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope utilizes the precession of atomic nuclei relative to an external magnetic field and realizes high-sensitivity angular velocity measurement by detecting the precession frequency change of atomic spin. In 1952, Leete and Hansen of general electric company first proposed the concept of a nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope. The Singer-Kearfott company and the Litton company started the research work related to the nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope in the 60's of the 20 th century, and developed a principle prototype of the nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope in 1979.
At present, Northrop Grumman company is the fastest technical development of the nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope, and through the development process of a fourth-generation gyroscope, a nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope engineering prototype developed by the Northrop Grumman company is used in a typical environment to verify that the stability of the nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope engineering prototype reaches 0.02 degree/h, becomes a gyroscope reaching the minimum volume in navigation-level precision in the world at present, and marks that breakthrough research progress is made in the technical field of high-precision and small-volume gyroscopes.
The operating principle of the nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope is as follows: the laser is used for polarizing alkali metal atoms, the collision between the alkali metal atoms and rare gas atoms can realize the polarization of the nuclear spin of the rare gas atoms, and the nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope senses the external rotation condition by using the frequency shift of the precession frequency of the transverse polarization component of the rare gas atoms in an external magnetic field, so that the measurement of the angular velocity of the carrier is realized.
The method comprises the steps of firstly, building a laboratory nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope principle verification system, verifying the nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope principle, and enabling the system components to be as shown in figure 1. The detection process of the nuclear magnetic resonance signal is divided into three steps: the first step is as follows: in B0A stable static magnetic field (background magnetic field) and a circularly polarized pump light are applied to the shaft, the alkali metal atoms in the gas chamber are polarized under the action of the magnetic field and the pump light, and then the alkali metal atoms are freely collided with the working substance to transfer the polarization to the working substanceThe working substance causes a large number of working substance atoms to generate a macroscopic magnetic moment M. The second step is that: and applying a radio frequency field in the transverse direction, wherein the frequency omega of the radio frequency field is the Larmor precession frequency of the atomic nucleus. At this time, the magnetic moment M of the nucleus deviates from B0A shaft wound around B0The shaft precesses. And thirdly, applying a beam of linearly polarized probe light in the direction vertical to the pump light, enabling the polarization plane of the probe light to generate deflection with the same frequency under the action of precession magnetic moment, converting the deflection into power change by utilizing a polarization beam splitter, detecting and receiving at the other end, and measuring the atom precession frequency change. If the carrier is stationary, the measured precession frequency is ω ═ γ B0(ii) a When the carrier is at omegarDuring rotation, the measured precession frequency is omega ═ gamma B0r
In the process of realizing nuclear spin polarization, the orientation alignment of the background magnetic field and the pumping laser beam is required to improve the utilization efficiency of the pumping laser power. The polarization direction of the electron spin transferred to the nuclear spin is the pump laser direction. When an included angle exists between the background magnetic field and the orientation of the pump laser, an included angle also exists between the polarized nuclear spin and the orientation of the background magnetic field, and at the moment, the nuclear spin can continuously precess around the background magnetic field. This not only reduces the polarizability of the nuclear spins, but also increases the hyperpolarization time of the nuclear spins, reducing the pump laser hyperpolarization efficiency.
Because the winding and installation processes of the magnetic field coil have inevitable errors, the direct alignment of the laser and the magnetic field direction is difficult to realize on the structural design, and the contingency is very large; theoretically, the alignment condition of the pump light and the magnetic field can be judged by adjusting the direction of the pump light beam and detecting the light intensity change of the corresponding transition frequency section of the atomic gas chamber, but the actual atomic polarizability is low, the light intensity change is usually small, the detection process is not visual and the precision is low.

Detailed Description
In order to further understand the contents, features and effects of the present invention, the following embodiments are illustrated and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:
fig. 1 is a diagram of a nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope composition based on spin collision polarization, the nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope composition being: the device comprises anatomic gas chamber 1, anon-magnetic heating mechanism 2, a magnetic field control coil 4, amagnetic shielding barrel 3, light path parts (a pumping light path, the front end and the rear end of a detection light path), a frequency control board and the like. It can be seen that the pump beam emitted from the pump optical path passes through the atomic gas cell under the action of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field control coil.
The method for aligning the nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope pumping laser and the background magnetic field is further detailed by specific implementation in combination with the attached figure 2. The following examples are illustrative only and not intended to be limiting, and are not intended to limit the scope of the alignment method of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 2, a pump beam passes through an optically active crystal 6 via a light guiding mirror 5; under the action of the magnetic field control coil 4 (namely the background magnetic field coil), the polarization plane of the pump light rotates; the light beam is decomposed into two beams through a PBS (polarization beam splitter 8), the light intensity distribution of the two beams is related to the polarization plane angle of the incident pump light beam, and the power of the two beams of initial light can be distributed to 50% by adjusting an 1/2 wave plate 7 in front of the PBS: 50% (dc offset to cancel the detection signal); one beam of light is incident to the photodetector through the focusing lens a10, and the other beam of light in the vertical direction is deflected by the reflecting mirror 9 and then is incident to the photodetector 12 through the focusing lens B11; the photoelectric detector outputs a periodic signal with the same frequency as the alternating magnetic field after differentiating the two beams of light power signals, the direction of the pump beam is adjusted by adjusting the angle of the light guide reflector at the incident end of the pump beam, and meanwhile, the change of the amplitude of the output signal of the detector is monitored, and when the amplitude of the signal is the maximum, the pump beam is aligned with the background magnetic field.
The purpose realization process of the invention is as follows:
the invention is mainly based on the magneto-optical Faraday effect. When linearly polarized light passes through a medium under the action of a magnetic field, an optical rotation phenomenon is generated, namely, the polarization plane of the linearly polarized light rotates for a certain angle, which is called magneto-optical Faraday effect. For light of a certain wavelength, the angle θ of rotation of the plane of polarization is proportional to the product of the projection H of the external magnetic field in the direction of propagation of the light and the length d of action of the magnetic field, i.e. the angle θ is proportional to the length of the magnetic field
θ=VHd
V is called the verdet constant, and the value is related to the material composition of the light-transmitting medium itself.
According to the invention, an alternating current is applied to a magnetic field coil to generate an alternating magnetic field by utilizing a magneto-optical Faraday effect principle, so that a linearly polarized pump light beam before circular polarization conversion passes through the magnetic field coil, if the coincidence degree of the light beam and the magnetic field direction is higher, the projection of the magnetic field in the light beam transmission direction is larger, the rotating angle of the corresponding light beam polarization surface is larger, and the alignment condition of the light beam and the magnetic field can be deduced by detecting the rotating angle change of the polarization surface; in order to amplify the detected signal, a Faraday rotator crystal can be arranged in a light-passing area under the action of a magnetic field. The specific alignment process is as follows:
after the pump light path is built, linearly polarized light before being converted into circularly polarized light by pump light passes through the Faraday rotator, and a sine alternating signal is applied to the background magnetic field coil by the signal generator to generate a sine alternating magnetic field which acts on the pump light beam. According to the principle of magneto-optical Faraday effect, under the action of an alternating magnetic field, a light beam generates periodic deflection of a polarization plane, and the deflection angle is in direct proportion to the component of the magnetic field in the transmission direction of the light beam. The rotation of the polarization plane of the linear polarization laser passes through an 1/2 wave plate to cause the change of the output splitting ratio of a PBS (polarization beam splitter prism), and the difference value of the light power of the two beams is converted into a voltage signal to be output after passing through a balanced photoelectric detector, so that a periodic signal is generated. The linear polarization laser beam is closer to being parallel to the magnetic field, the component of the magnetic field acting on the transmission direction of the beam is larger, the optical rotation angle of the polarization surface is larger, the amplitude of the generated periodic signal is larger, and therefore the relative angle between the pump light and the background magnetic field is judged and adjusted by adjusting the light guide reflecting mirror before the pump light is incident, and finally the pump light and the background magnetic field are aligned.
The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way, and all simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiment according to the technical spirit of the present invention are within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
