    摘要: A method for enhancing vacuum tolerance of optical levitation particles includes steps of: (1) turning on a trapping laser to form an optical trap, loading the particles to an effective capture region of the optical trap, and collecting scattered light signals; (2) turning on the preheating laser, and directing a preheating laser beam to the captured particles; (3) adjusting a power of the preheating laser until a particle heating rate is larger than a heat dissipation rate; (4) turning on the vacuum pump, and stopping evacuating when a vacuum degree is greater than a vacuum inflection point of a first reduction of the effective capture region of the optical trap; and (5) turning off the preheating laser when the scattered light signals collected by the photodetector no longer changes. The present invention improves a stable capture probability of the particles in high vacuum environment.

    摘要: A magnetic-field shield is used to shield a magneto-optical trap (MOT) in an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) cell from magnetic fields generated by an ion pump used to maintain the UHV. The magnetic-field shield includes an enclosure of ferro-magnetic material that acts to capture portions of the magnetic field generated by the ion pump. However, as the distance between the ion pump and the MOT is less than 6 centimeters, enough of the magnetic field escapes through the ferro-magnetic material, and this leakage could impair the MOT. A drive magnet attached to the yoke redirects magnetic flux, that would otherwise leak out of the magnetic-field shield, along a path within the ferro-magnetic enclosure and away from the MOT.
