Abstract

A phase difference measuring method uses an atomic wave interferometer that separates an atomic wave by a first Raman beam, reflects the atomic wave by a second Raman beam, and separates again the atomic wave by a third Raman beam to make the atomic wave interfere. The method applies to the second Raman beam an offset phase and an oscillation phase having an amplitude β and an angular frequency ω to modulate a phase of the atomic wave. A number-of-atoms measuring apparatus measures an intensity signal I of an interfered atomic wave. An observed phase difference Φ is calculated from a ω component and a 2ω component of the intensity signal I and the amplitude β. The offset phase is subtracted from the observed phase difference Φ to calculate a measured phase difference. Feedback control is conducted for the offset phase such that cos Φ=−1.

Each of the contacts includes two metal terminals disposed opposed to each other in the thickness direction, a tube in a tubular shape being easily elastically deformable and coupling the two metal terminals, and a liquid metal filling the tube. The two metal terminals are electrically continuous with each other through the liquid metal. The two metal terminals are configured to approach each other in the thickness direction with elastic deformation of the tube.

Abstract

Provided is a connector unit capable of achieving an airtight structure around a pin terminal and a socket terminal with a small number of parts. The connector unit includes a socket connector including a socket terminal and a socket-side holding member covering an outer peripheral surface of the socket terminal in an airtight manner, and a pin connector including a pin terminal and a pin-side holding member covering an outer peripheral surface of the pin terminal in an airtight manner. The socket-side holding member includes a recessed part into which the pin-side holding member is to be inserted. An end face of the socket terminal comes into contact with the pin-side holding member, and the pin-side holding member comes into contact with a bottom face of the recessed part of the socket-side holding member.
