Atomic flux density distribution as a function of propagation distance is calculated based on Monte-Carlo scheme and trajectory tracing method.Simulation results have shown that source imperfection,especially beam spread, plays an important role in broadening the feature width,and the focus depth of atom lens for real atomic source is longer than that for perfect source.The ideal focal plane can be easily determined by the variation of atomic density at the minimal potential of the laser field as a function of traveling distance.展开更多

Based on a direct digital synthesizer tech- nique, a programmable radio-frequency generator is implemented as the reference signal source. The OPLL has a narrow beat note linewidth below 1 Hz and a residual mean-square phase error of 0.06 rad2 in a 10 MHz integration bandwidth. The experimental test results prove the competent performance of the system, which is promising as a low-budget choice in atomic physics applications.展开更多
