Inertial sensors, atomic interferometers, methods for adjusting the velocity of atoms, and devices for adjusting the speed of atoms

摘要

Problem to be solved: to provide an adjustment technique for approaching the speed of atoms contained in the atomic beam to a predetermined speed.The adjusting device 500 simultaneously irradiates m laser beams to the atomic beam 131 as a predetermined integer satisfying m ≦ m.The course of each of the M laser beams intersects the course of the atomic beam 131.The sum of the radiation pressure vectors of M laser beams is zero in the direction perpendicular to the course of the atomic beam.The sum of the radiant pressure vectors of the M laser beams is negative for the atoms having a speed greater than a predetermined speed, and is positive for the atoms having a speed smaller than a predetermined speed.Diagram
