研制了一种用于冷原子重力仪的集成化、低相噪、多通道微波频率综合器。利用锁相环技术,将100 MHz晶振锁定到10 MHz晶振上,改善了100 MHz晶振近端的相位噪声,使输出至后级倍频链路的100 MHz信号的相位噪声同时具备10 MHz及100 MHz晶振的优点。通过搭建超低相噪倍频链路,得到^(87)Rb原子基态跃迁所需的6.834 GHz微波信号。通过互相关法测量得到在频偏为1 Hz和10 kHz处的相位噪声分别为-60 dBc/Hz和-120 dBc/Hz,其频率分辨率为1.42×10^(-6)Hz,并评估了其相位噪声对冷原子重力仪测量分辨率的影响。该微波频综方案具有普适性,可广泛应用于原子钟和干涉仪等量子精密测量领域。

Magnetic sensitivity technology based on microwave modulation of solid state spin system NV center

In view of the low resolution and accuracy of traditional magnetometer,a method of microwave frequency modulation technology based on nitrogen-vacancy(NV)center in diamond for magnetic detection was proposed.The magnetometer studied can reduce the frequency noise of system and improve the magnetic sensitivity by microwave frequency modulation.Firstly,ESR spectra by sweeping the microwave frequency was obtained.Further,the microwave frequency modulated was gained through the mixed high-frequency sinusoidal modulation signal generated by signal generator.In addition,the frequency through the lock-in amplifier was locked,and the signal which was proportional to the first derivative of the spectrum was obtained.The experimental results show that the sensitivity of magnetic field detection can reach 17.628 nT/Hz based on microwave frequency modulation technology.The method realizes high resolution and sensitivity for magnetic field detection.
