摘要: 为实现在离子阱中对离子的稳定囚禁, 本研究搭建了一套基于电子管振荡电路的射频源。该装置能够实现 同时输出两路幅值相同、相位相反的射频电场, 其频率在2.15~4.05 MHz范围内连续可调, 且无需主动进行阻抗匹 配。将该装置应用于离子阱, 首先对其射频频率、相位差和两路电压峰峰值进行4.68×104 s的连续测量, 结果表明, 各 参数稳定度的最小Allan偏差分别达到10−5 、10−4 和10−4 量级。进一步利用该装置将钙离子囚禁在离子阱中, 在不关断 射频源的情况下, 可连续调节射频频率, 并通过CCD相机观察了钙离子库仑晶体在不同囚禁参数下的结构变化。

Abstract: In order to achieve the stable confinement of ions in ion traps, a radio frequency (RF) source based on electronic tube oscillation circuit is constructed in this work. The device can simultaneously generate two RF electric fields with equal amplitudes and opposite phases, and its output frequencies are continuously adjustable ranging from 2.15 MHz to 4.05 MHz without active impedance matching. Over a continuous measurement period of 4.68 × 104 s, the stabilities of frequency, phase difference, and dual channel voltage peak-to-peak values of the RF source are evaluated after being installed on an ion trap, and the minimum Allan derivations of each parameter's stability are obtained to be 10−5 , 10−4 , and 10−4 orders of magnitude, respectively. Furthermore, calcium ions are successfully confined in the ion trap equipped with the designed RF source, and by continuous adjusting the RF frequency and amplitude without turning off the RF source, the structural variations of the calcium ion Coulomb crystal are observed by CCD camera.
