  • 原子磁力计可以通过避免自旋交换弛豫(SERF)实现磁场测量的高灵敏度,也可利用多种原子作为工作介质达到良好的长期零偏稳定性;其自旋系统本质为非线性动力学系统。本文研究了在纵向偏置磁场上施加周期性调制时,原子磁力计中涌现的非线性动力学行为。我们通过数值求解Bloch方程,结合快速傅里叶变换、庞加莱截面与李雅普诺夫指数分析,系统扫描了调制幅度与频率参数空间,绘制了动力学相图。我们的研究表明:在周期驱动下,系统呈现准周期、混沌与极限环三种稳态。其中,准周期态表现为频谱中多个不可公约频率共存;混沌态则伴随正李雅普诺夫指数与连续宽带频谱;而极限环则是出现了闭合的周期轨道。我们的研究结果丰富了对周期调制下原子磁力计非线性动力学的认识。

    Atomic magnetometers can achieve high magnetic-field sensitivity in the spin-exchange relaxationfree (SERF) regime, while multi-species media can provide good long-term zero-bias stability. Their underlying spin system is intrinsically nonlinear. In this work, we study the nonlinear dynamical behavior of a feedback-assisted atomic magnetometer under periodic modulation of the longitudinal bias magnetic field. In the parameter range considered here, the 87Rb electron-spin polarization remains close to a quasi-steady state, so the long-time dynamics are dominated by the 129Xe nuclear-spin polarization and are described by a simplified Bloch model, Eqs. (1) to (3). By numerically integrating the Bloch equations, we determine the stable dynamical states reached after long-time evolution. To characterize the nature of these states, we combine fast Fourier transform spectrum, Poincaré section and Lyapunov exponents. Our results show that, under periodic driving, the system exhibits three distinct states: quasi-periodic orbits, chaos and limit cycles. The quasi-periodic state is characterized by multiple incommensurate frequencies in the spectrum. The chaotic state shows a positive Lyapunov exponent and a continuous broadband spectrum. The limit cycle state corresponds to a stable closed periodic orbit in phase space. By scanning the modulation amplitude δ and modulation frequency ωacT2 (see Eq. (4)), we construct the dynamical phase diagram in the modulation-parameter space. In particular, for (ω0T2, χ/χc) = (1.3, 8), the phase diagram, Fig. 3 (also see the left figure below), is mainly composed of quasi-periodic, chaotic, and limitcycle regions, with a small isolated limit-cycle island near the boundary between the quasi-periodic and chaotic regions. Increasing δ can drive the system from quasi-periodic to chaos and then to a limit cycle. For comparison, when (ω0T2, χ/χc) = (1.2, 8), the quasi-periodic region shrinks markedly toward smaller δ, which is shown in the phase diagram, Fig. 4 (also see the right figure below). Based on the phase diagram without modulation, Fig. 5, we give a qualitative argument for the origins of the quasi-periodic and chaotic dynamics, and comment that the limit cycles with intricate trajectories (see Fig. 2(e)) are emergent from the nonlinearity of the system. These results enrich the understanding of nonlinear spin dynamics in periodically modulated atomic magnetometers.
