High-sensitivity atomic magnetometer unaffected by spin-exchange relaxation.
Alkali-metal magnetometers compete with SQUID detectors as the most sensitive magnetic field sensors. Their sensitivity is limited by relaxation due to spin-exchange collisions. We demonstrate a K magnetometer in which spin-exchange relaxation is completely eliminated by operating at high K density and low magnetic field. Direct measurements of the signal-to-noise ratio give a magnetometer sens...
متن کاملMagnetocardiography with a modular spin-exchange relaxation-free atomic magnetometer array.
We present a portable four-channel atomic magnetometer array operating in the spin-exchange relaxation-free regime. The magnetometer array has several design features intended to maximize its suitability for biomagnetic measurement, specifically foetal magnetocardiography, such as a compact modular design and fibre-coupled lasers. The modular design allows the independent positioning and orient...
متن کاملSpin-exchange-relaxation-free magnetometry with Cs vapor
We describe a Cs atomic magnetometer operating in the spin-exchange-relaxation-free SERF regime. With a vapor cell temperature of 103 °C we achieve intrinsic magnetic resonance widths B=17 G corresponding to an electron spin-relaxation rate of 300 s−1 when the spin-exchange rate is SE=14 000 s −1. We also observe an interesting narrowing effect due to diffusion. Signal-to-noise measurements yie...
متن کاملSpin-exchange relaxation-free magnetometry using elliptically polarized light
Spin-exchange relaxation free alkali-metal magnetometers typically operate in the regime of high optical density, presenting challenges for simple and efficient optical pumping and detection. We describe a highsensitivity Rb magnetometer using a single elliptically polarized off-resonant laser beam. Circular component of the light creates relatively uniform spin polarization while the linear co...
متن کاملA sensitive and accurate atomic magnetometer based on free spin precession
We present a laser-based atomic magnetometer that allows inferring the modulus of a magnetic field from the free Larmor precession of spin-oriented Cs vapour atoms. The detection of free spin precession (FSP) is not subject to systematic readout errors that occur in phase feedback-controlled magnetometers in which the spin precession is actively driven by an oscillating field or a modulation of...
