一种2～14μm红外光谱辐射计的辐射定标方法

提出了一种分区多点标定的辐射定标方法。定标原理如下:将测量目标的温度区间分为n个子区间,测量并记录目标温度区间内n+1个不同温度黑体对应的红外光谱辐射计输出数据,并分别计算各个子区间的定标系数;进行红外光谱辐射测量时,比对红外光谱辐射计输出数据和记录数据,确定待测目标所属温度子区间;使用对应子区间的定标系数进行辐射定标,以提高测量精度。使用该方法对研制的渐变滤光片型红外光谱辐射计进行辐射定标,并根据定标结果反演测量黑体的等效亮温温差。实验结果表明,该方法的辐射定标精度优于1.5 K,可应用于红外光谱辐射计的辐射定标。     

Polarization Gradient Cooling by Zeeman-Effect-Assisted Saturated Absorption

A novel and simple method to realize polarization gradient cooling （PGC） is reported. The stabilizing, shifting and rapid tuning of the frequency of the external cavity diode laser is realized by using the Zeeman-effect-assisted Doppler-free saturated absorption technique. Based on this convenient technique, 87Rb cold atoms are captured from room-temperature background vapor in the magneto-optical trap （MOT）. Meanwhile, the steady-state number, the density and the lifetime of atoms in the MOT are measured. Subsequently, a frequency-fast-varying circuit is designed to realize PGC, which is demonstrated effectively and reliably in experiments. The temperature of the cold atom cloud is measured by two different methods, which coincide with each other.     

Stabilization and Shift of Frequency in an External Cavity Diode Laser with Solenoid-Assisted Saturated Absorption

A simple method to realize both stabilization and shift of the frequency in an external cavity diode laser （ECDL） is reported. Due to the Zeeman effect, the saturated absorption spectrum of Rb atoms in a magnetic field is shifted. This shift can be used to detune the frequency of the ECDL, which is locked to the saturated absorption spectrum. The frequency shift amount can be controlled by changing the magnetic field for a specific polarization state of the laser beam. The advantages of this tunable frequency lock include low laser power requirement, without additional power loss, cheapness, and so on.
