Improvement of Laser Frequency Stabilization for the Optical Pumping Cesium Beam Standard

A method is presented to improve the laser frequency stabilization for the optical pumping cesium clock. By comparing the laser frequency stabilization of different schemes, we verify that the light angle is an important factor that limits the long-term frequency stability. We minimize the drift of the light angle by using a fiber- coupled output, and lock the frequency of a distributed-feedback diode laser to the fluorescence spectrum of the atomic beam. The measured frequency stability is about 3.5 ×10^-11 at i s and reaches 1.5 × 10^-12 at 2000s. The Allan variance keeps going down for up to thousands of seconds, indicating that the medium- and long-term stability of the laser frequency is significantly improved and perfectly fulfills the requirement for the optical pumping cesium clock.

Forming of Space Charge Wave with Broad Frequency Spectrum in Helical Relativistic Two-Stream Electron Beams

We elaborate a quadratic nonlinear theory of plural interactions of growing space charge wave （SCW） harmonics during the development of the two-stream instability in helical relativistic electron beams. It is found that in helical two-stream electron beams the growth rate of the two-stream instability increases with the beam entrance angle. An SCW with the broad frequency spectrum, in which higher harmonics have higher amplitudes, forms when the frequency of the first SCW harmonic is much less than the critical frequency of the two-stream instability. For helical electron beams the spectrum expands with the increase of the beam entrance angle. Moreover, we obtain that utilizing helical electron beams in multiharmonic two-stream superheterodyne free-electron lasers leads to the improvement of their amplification characteristics, the frequency spectrum broadening in multiharmonic signal generation mode, and the reduction of the overall system dimensions.

Electromagnetic Resonance of Astigmatic Gaussian Beam to the High Frequency Gravitational Waves

The high frequency gravitational waves （around lOS-lO12 Hz） could interact with a specially designed electro- magnetic resonance system. It is found that the power of transverse perturbative photon flux （PPF） of an electromagnetic resonance system can be improved significantly by virtue of an astigmatic Caussian beam. Cor- respondingly the signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） would also be improved. When the eccentric ratio of waist satisfying w0x ： w0y 〉 1, the peak value of signal photon flux could be raised by 2-4 times with typical systematic parameters, while the background photon flux would be depressed. Therefore, the ratio of transverse PPF to background photon flux （i.e., SNR） can be further improved 3-8 times with dimensionless amplitude of relic gravitational wave ht = 10-36.

The receiving of chirp signals with frequency invariant beam response

A frequency invariant response algorithm is proposed for getting over the signal distortion in high frequency when the beamformer receives the broadband signals. In this method, the weight vector of the reference beam pattern is designed firstly, then the weight vectors when the beam response in the frequency sub-bands approaching the reference response mostly are computed by optimized method or adaptive method. By this method, the beam pattern in each sub-band can be almost kept invariable. As a result, the receiving chirp signal can be improved. Owing to the adoption of the adaptive method to approach the optimized vectors, it has no restricting of the array format and the element directivity, and the method can be used widely.

Rubidium-beam microwave clock pumped by distributed feedback diode lasers

A rubidium-beam microwave clock, optically pumped by a distributed feedback diode laser, is experimentally investigated. The clock is composed of a physical package, optical systems, and electric servo loops. The physical package realizes the microwave interrogation of a rubidium-atomic beam. The optical systems, equipped with two 780-nm distributed feedback laser diodes, yield light for pumping and detecting. The servo loops control the frequency of a local oscillator with respect to the microwave spectrum. With the experimental systems, the microwave spectrum, which has an amplitude of 4 n A and a line width of 700 Hz, is obtained. Preliminary tests show that the clock short-term frequency stability is 7 × 10^-11 at 1 s, and 3 × 10^-12 at 1000 s. These experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the scheme for a manufactured clock.

Forced vibration control of an axially moving beam with an attached nonlinear energy sink

This paper investigates a highly efficient and promising control method for forced vibration control of an axially moving beam with an attached nonlinear energy sink（NES）.Because of the axial velocity,external force and external excitation frequency,the beam undergoes a high-amplitude vibration.The Galerkin method is applied to discretize the dynamic equations of the beam–NES system.The steady-state responses of the beams with an attached NES and with nothing attached are acquired by numerical simulation.Furthermore,the fast Fourier transform（FFT）is applied to get the amplitude–frequency responses.From the perspective of frequency domain analysis,it is explained that the NES has little effect on the natural frequency of the beam.Results confirm that NES has a great potential to control the excessive vibration.

Frequency tuning with RFQ temperature in China ADS Injector Ⅱ

A 162.5 MHz four-vane radio frequency quadruple（RFQ） accelerator has been developed at the Institute of Modern Physics（IMP） for Injector II of the China ADS linac. The RFQ will operate in continuous wave mode at 100 k W. For the designed 10 mA beam, the additional RF power dissipation will induce a very large reflection of power. A water-temperature controlling system will be used to reduce the power reflection by tuning the frequency of the RFQ. The tuning capability of the water temperature is studied under different configurations of cooling water.Simulations and experiment are compared in this paper. The experimental results agree well with simulation using ANSYS. This can be used as a reference to tune the RFQ in beam commissioning.
