Abstract

The invention relates to an optical module for an atomic oscillator and an atomic oscillator. The optical module for an atomic oscillator using a quantum interference effect includes a light source adapted to emit light including a fundamental wave having a predetermined wavelength, and sideband waves of the fundamental wave, a wavelength selection section receiving the light from the light source, and adapted to transmit the sideband waves out of the light input, a gas cell encapsulating an alkali metal gas, and irradiated with light transmitted through the wavelength selection section, and a light detection section adapted to detect an intensity of light transmitted through the gas cell, and the wavelength selection section includes a fiber Bragg grating, and a voltage application section adapted to apply a voltage to the fiber Bragg grating.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an optical module for an atomic oscillator and an atomic oscillator. Background technique [0002] In recent years, an atomic oscillator using CPT (Coherent Population Trapping), which is one of the quantum interference effects, has been proposed, and people are looking forward to miniaturization and low power consumption of the device. The atomic oscillator using CPT uses the phenomenon that when two resonance lights with different wavelengths (frequency) are simultaneously irradiated to an alkali metal atom, the absorption of the two resonance lights stops (EIT phenomenon: Electromagnetically Induced Transparency) Oscillator. For example, Patent Document 1 describes that, as an atomic oscillator using CPT, an atomic oscillator is configured to include an optical module having a light source that emits coherent light, a gas cell encapsulated with alkali metal atoms, and detection of transmitted gas. The light receiving el...
