Abstract
This article is the first work to propose a series of control strategies for the longitudinal electron spin polarization of the spin-exchange relaxation-free comagnetometer system to ensure its ultrastable measurement. Two types of finite-time control strategies are presented for a nonlinear system with affine input. The first control strategy is finite-time fractional exponential feedback control (FEFC), which ensures that the trajectories of an autonomous system converge to an equilibrium state in a finite time that can be specified. The second control strategy is finite-time robust FEFC, which provides a finite-time stability of a nonautonomous system with unknown structures under disturbance and perturbations, and its upper bound of the settling time can be estimated. The theoretical results are supported by numerical simulations.
