High Sample Rate Optically Pumped Helium Magnetometer
Optically pumped helium magnetometers are important instruments whichhave many applications in military, mass spectroscopy and space applications. In thispaper, the working principles of helium magnetometers have been explained. There isalso an introduction of a new method for finding the resonant frequency, which hasadvantages to the typical method such as more sample r...
متن کاملMulti-channel atomic magnetometer for magnetoencephalography: A configuration study
Atomic magnetometers are emerging as an alternative to SQUID magnetometers for detection of biological magnetic fields. They have been used to measure both the magnetocardiography (MCG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) signals. One of the virtues of the atomic magnetometers is their ability to operate as a multi-channel detector while using many common elements. Here we study two configurations...
متن کاملHigh Sensitivity Optically Pumped Quantum Magnetometer
Quantum magnetometers based on optical pumping can achieve sensitivity as high as what SQUID-based devices can attain. In this paper, we discuss the principle of operation and the optimal design of an optically pumped quantum magnetometer. The ultimate intrinsic sensitivity is calculated showing that optimal performance of the magnetometer is attained with an optical pump power of 20 μW and an ...
متن کاملMagnetoencephalography with a chip-scale atomic magnetometer
We report on the measurement of somatosensory-evoked and spontaneous magnetoencephalography (MEG) signals with a chip-scale atomic magnetometer (CSAM) based on optical spectroscopy of alkali atoms. The uncooled, fiber-coupled CSAM has a sensitive volume of 0.77 mm(3) inside a sensor head of volume 1 cm(3) and enabled convenient handling, similar to an electroencephalography (EEG) electrode. Whe...
متن کاملUltra-sensitive Magnetic Microscopy with an Optically Pumped Magnetometer
Optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) based on lasers and alkali-metal vapor cells are currently the most sensitive non-cryogenic magnetic field sensors. Many applications in neuroscience and other fields require high-resolution, high-sensitivity magnetic microscopic measurements. In order to meet this demand we combined a cm-size spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) OPM and flux guides (FGs) t...
