Response Dynamics of Alkali Metal-Noble Gas Hybrid Trispin System

With numerical calculation of coupled Bloch equations, we have simulated the spin dynamics of nuclear magnetic resonance gyroscope based on alkali metal-noble gas hybrid trispin system. From the perspective of damping harmonic oscillator, a thorough analysis of the response dynamics is demonstrated. The simulation results shows a linear increasing response of gyroscope signal while the noblge gas nuclear spin magnetization and alkali atomic spin lifetime parameters are at the over damping condition. An upper limit of response is imposed on the NMR gyroscope signal due to the inherent dynamics of the hybrid trispin system. The results agrees with present available experimental results and provide useful guidings for future experiments.

High-performance coherent population trapping atomic clock with direct-modulation distributed Bragg reflector laser

The coherent population trapping (CPT) atomic clock is very promising for use in next-generation spaceborne applications owing to its compactness and high performance. In this paper, we propose and implement a CPT atomic clock based on the direct modulation of a large-modulation-bandwidth and narrow-linewidth distributed Bragg reflector laser, which replaces the usually used external bulk modulator in the high-performance CPT clock. Our method retains the high performance while significantly reducing the size. Using this highly compact bichromatic light source and simplest CPT configuration, in which a circularly polarized bichromatic laser interrogates the ^{87}Rb atom system, a CPT signal of clock transition with a narrow linewidth and high contrast is observed. We then lock the local oscillator frequency to the CPT error signal and demonstrate a short-term frequency stability of 3.6 \times 10^{-13} τ^{-1/2} (4 s \le τ \le 200 s). We attribute it to the ultralow laser frequency and intensity noise as well as to the high-quality-factor CPT signal. This study can pave the way for the development of compact high-performance CPT clocks based on our scheme.

Coupled atomic-molecular condensates in a double-well potential: decaying molecular oscillations

We present a four-mode model that describes coherent photo-association (PA) in a double-well Bose-Einstein condensate, focusing on the $average$ molecular populations in certain parameters. Our numerical results predict an interesting strong-damping effect of molecular oscillations by controlling the particle tunnellings and PA light strength, which may provide a promising way for creating a stable molecular condensate via coherent PA in a magnetic double-well potential.
