Abstract:Fluorescence collector is a critical component in optically pumped Cs beam frequency standards. We design a new fluorescence collector by means of a new method. By means of two simulation methods, a smaller fluorescence collector with the same collection efficiency is achieved. It can be applied to almost all fluorescence detection systems in atom-light interaction experiments. We select the practical fluorescence collector studied by comparing three designing schemes. Its structure is very plain. Moreover, its fluorescence collection efficiency is very high. The collection efficiency of the practical fluorescence collector we designed is over 33% by means of two different ways.
