Abstract
Temperature fluctuations over long time scales (≳ 1 h) are an insidious problem for precision measurements. In optical laboratories, the primary effect of temperature fluctuations is drifts in optical circuits over spatial scales of a few meters and temporal scales extending beyond a few minutes. We present a lab-scale environment temperature control system approaching 10 mK-level temperature instability across a lab for integration times above an hour and extending to a day. This is achieved by passive isolation of the laboratory space from the building walls using a circulating air gap and an active control system feeding back to heating coils at the outlet of the laboratory's Heating-Ventilation-Air-Conditioning (HVAC) unit. These techniques together result in 20 dB suppression of the temperature power spectrum across the lab at 10-4 Hz-approaching the limit set by statistical coherence of the temperature field-and 10 mK Allan deviation around 15 °C after an hour of averaging, which is an order of magnitude better than any previous report for a full laboratory.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
