Abstract

We report on the design and the construction of a sounding rocket payload capable of performing atom interferometry with Bose-Einstein condensates of \(^{41}\)K and \(^{87}\)Rb. The apparatus is designed to be launched in two consecutive missions with a VSB-30 sounding rocket and is qualified to withstand the expected vibrational loads of 1.8 g root-mean-square in a frequency range between 20–2000 Hz and the expected static loads during ascent and re-entry of 25 g. We present a modular design of the scientific payload comprising a physics package, a laser system, an electronics system and a battery module. A dedicated on-board software provides a largely automated process of predefined experiments. To operate the payload safely in laboratory and flight mode, a thermal control system and ground support equipment has been implemented and will be presented. The payload presented here represents a cornerstone for future applications of matter wave interferometry with ultracold atoms on satellites.

探空火箭上运行的双组分原子干涉仪载荷

我们报告了一种探空火箭有效载荷的设计和构造，能够用\(^{41}\) K和\(^{87}\) Rb的玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体进行原子干涉测量。该仪器被设计为与VSB-30探空火箭一起连续两次发射，并有资格承受频率范围在20-2000 Hz之间的1.8 g均方根振动载荷和上升和再入期间25 g的预期静态载荷。我们提出了一种科学有效载荷的模块化设计，包括物理包、激光系统、电子系统和电池模块。专用的机载软件提供了预定义实验的大部分自动化过程。为了在实验室和飞行模式下安全运行有效载荷，一个热控制系统和地面支持设备已经实施并将被展示。本文提出的有效载荷为未来在卫星上应用超冷原子的物质波干涉测量奠定了基础。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
