PhD abstract

This thesis present the latest work realized on the absolute colds atoms gravimeter of the LNE-SYRTE. To measure g, this device, called CAG, realize an atomic interferometer with Raman pulses on a free falling atomic cloud of Rubidium 87. The accuracy of the CAG’s measurements are limited by the Raman beam, its phase and intensity profile. During the thesis, the apparatus was moved to the Observatoire de Paris to be upgraded, in order to reduce these effects and extending the limits of the CAG further.

After the restart of the device, which able us to reach similar sensibilities than previously at 20×10−9·g Hz−1/2, the studies related to the Raman beam have been continued. The manuscript details this work, which guides to study the stability of the intensity of each Raman beam, as well as the impact of inhomogeneity in the intensity profile. This inhomogeneity has been proven to cause a light shift distribution within the atomic cloud, resulting in a loss of contrast. This phenomenon also cause a bias on the measurement of g, of the order of 5×10−9·g, which is not eliminated by the measurement algorithm, and should be taken into account into the uncertainty budget. We also present the first results of the optimal control of the Raman transitions. This experimental method aims to improve the efficiency of the transitions and, consequently, the contrast of the interferometer.

PhD abstract

The metrological traceability of liquid flow rate measurements is ensured by an uninterrupted chain of calibrations against national primary and transfer standards. However, for flow rates that fall below a few microliters per minute, traceability becomes difficult due to the lack of references at this scale. In this work, and as part of the Metrology for Drug Delivery II European joint research project, we developed a primary system for the measurement of low liquid flow rates based on the optical tracking of a liquid/air interface moving inside a glass capillary tube. A quantification of the physical phenomena occurring at the interface and an assessment of the different uncertainty components were carried out. In order to ensure the traceability of flow rate measurements, a camera calibration procedure has been established and a method for measuring the inner diameter of capillary tubes has been developed. The system allows the calibration of liquid flow generating and measurement devices such as drug delivery systems, flow sensors, pressure controllers and syringe pumps. These devices are used for e.g. medical and microfluidics applications. Our system also enables the study of flow rate fluctuations and thus, a complete characterization of flow generating devices. As part of the external validation of the system, CETIAT participated in an interlaboratory comparison which consists in the calibration of different flow meters and a flow generator, from 5 nL/min to 1500 nL/min, for both static and dynamic flows. The results of the comparison show a measurement-expanded relative uncertainty ranging from 12 % at 10 nL/min to 0.15 % at 1500 nl/min. These measurement and calibration capabilities (CMCs) were peer-reviewed and validated by BIPMs (International Bureau of Weights and Measures) approval process. This validation represents international recognition of our system as the French national primary standard for liquid nano-flow rates.

PhD abstract

The work concerns the development of a novel absolute gas pressure standard in a range of 200 Pa to 20 kPa (0.002 atm to 0.2 atm). The method used, refractive index gas manometry, involves the determination of the refractive index of a pure noble gas (helium-4 or argon) using a microwave resonator. The refractive index is determined via the ratio of the resonant frequencies measured with the resonator under vacuum and under pressure at a constant temperature. Given the thermodynamic temperature of the gas and its refractive index, it is possible to calculate its pressure. This principle is the reciprocal of that used for refractive index gas thermometry (RIGT) in which thermodynamic temperature is extracted from the measured refractive index of gas at a known pressure. The frequency scanning pattern and fitting algorithms take advantage of earlier work in the laboratory on the determination of the Boltzmann constant prior to the 2019 redefinition of the kelvin, the SI unit of thermodynamic temperature. For Helium-4, measurements were made at 5.4 K using a quasi-spherical copper resonator coated on its inner surface with a 3 μm thick layer of superconducting niobium. Superconductivity improves the quality factor Q of the resonator and thereby the frequency resolution of the system. The pressure determination benefits from the very high accuracy of the dielectric and density virial coefficients of helium-4 obtained by ab initio calculations. Measurements on Argon were performed at a temperature of 90.4 K with an uncoated copper resonator. At this temperature, the apparatus is less demanding in terms of cryogenics than its helium counterpart and so easier to replicate.
