Optically pumped helium magnetometers are important instruments which have many applications in military, mass spectroscopy and space applications. In this paper, the working principles of helium magnetometers have been explained. There is also an introduction of a new method for finding the resonant frequency, which has advantages to the typical method such as more sample rate possibility and realizing with cheaper prices.
Optical pumping was originally suggested by Kastler [I] in 1950 and since the early 1960's numerous helium magnetometers based upon that technique have been developed. Since then the main evolution has consisted in the advent in 1986 of tunable lasers suitable for helium optical
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 ca
20 Optically pumped atomic magnetometers measure the Larmor frequency νL at which the bulk magnetization of a spin-polarized alkali metal vapour in a glass cell precesses around the field of interest B0. !e precession frequency is related to the modulus of the magnetic field by ν
2014 Samples of optically pumped 23S1 helium atoms are currently studied in our laboratory for use in advanced magnetometer applications. The results of recent investigations of the effect of pumping beam orientation with respect to the observed magnetic field are presented in th
We describe a method for recording the Rabi nutation of nuclear spin polarized He by optically pumped cesium magnetometers. The measurement is performed by detecting the time-dependent magnetic field produced by the He magnetization. The observed signals are compared to theoretic
