Microgravity test complex for mobile and portable optical frequency standards
https://doi.org/10.32446/0368-1025it.2022-3-45-52
Abstract
The questions of application of optical quantum standards (quantum sensors) based on cold atoms in satellite navigation are considered. The advantages of placing OFS based on cold atoms in space are described. It is shown that in order to improve the accuracy of measurements using quantum sensors, it is necessary to study their operation in a state of weightlessness or microgravity on special platforms. A review of the main platforms providing microgravity conditions is given. A fundamentally new version of the test platform is proposed – slides of various shapes with a moving trolley. Four confi gurations of slides are described in detail, for each a computer simulation is implemented. A comparative analysis of the characteristics of the slides has been carried out, their advantages and disadvantages have been identifi ed, and the most eff ective confi guration has been found. A method for improving the quality of microgravity is proposed, which will be taken into account in the future.
