摘要

与传统的空间原子钟相比,具有更高频率稳定性和精度的原子钟是空间时频系统长期自主运行的基石。我们提出了一种基于腔内冷却方案的太空冷原子钟,该方案在微波腔中心捕获冷原子,然后执行冷原子与微波之间的原位相互作用。由于太空中的微重力环境,冷原子可以与微波进行更长时间的相互作用,这有助于实现高精度的太空原子钟。本文介绍了基于腔内冷却方案的空间原子钟的总体设计、运行特性和可靠性测试结果,该方案是为在中国空间站上运行而设计的。此外,还介绍了空间冷原子微波钟的工程样机性能。该钟的地面测试结果表明,在20万秒时,分频稳定性为1.1×10-12 τ-1/2,达到2.5×10-15,为其未来在轨运行提供了坚实的技术和数据支持。

Cold atom microwave clock based on intracavity cooling in China space station.

Atomic clocks with higher frequency stability and accuracy than traditional space-borne atomic clocks are the cornerstone of long-term autonomous operation of space-time-frequency systems. We proposed a space cold atoms clock based on an intracavity cooling scheme, which captures cold atoms at the center of a microwave cavity and then executes in situ interactions between the cold atoms and microwaves. As a result of the microgravity environment in space, the cold atoms can interact with the microwaves for a longer time, which aids in realizing a high-precision atomic clock in space. This paper presents the overall design, operational characteristics, and reliability test results of the space atomic clock based on the intracavity cooling scheme designed for the operation onboard the China space station. In addition, the engineering prototype performance of the space cold atoms microwave clock is also presented. The ground test results for the clock show a fractional frequency stability of 1.1 × 10-12 τ-1/2 reaching 2.5 × 10-15 at 200,000 s, providing solid technical and data support for its future operation in orbit.
