The invention provides a folding light path 
laser cooling atom device which is mainly composed of a vacuum tetrakaidecahedron, cooling 
light source assemblies, reflecting mirror assemblies, transfer mirror assemblies and anti-helmholtz 
magnetic field coils. The folding light path 
laser cooling atom device integrates a 
laser beam expansion collimation 
system, a folding light path, a polarization transformation 
system, the anti-helmholtz 
magnetic field coils and 
optical power real-time monitoring, six paths of laser required by a traditional 
laser cooling magneto optical trap is reduced to two paths of laser, the size and weight of an optical-
mechanical system are reduced to the maximum degree, a space topology structure is simplified, and the optical-
mechanical system is 
extremely good in 
mechanical property and thermal environment adaptability and can be applied to the severe environment of the space level. According to the folding light path 
laser cooling atom device, samples have passed ring die tests, such as a space level 
mechanical vibration test, a 
mechanical impact test, a 
thermal cycle test and a thermal vacuum test, long-term stable working can be kept, and the device can serve as a core optical-mechanical device of the laser cold atom 
application engineering.
