Multichannel optical atomic magnetometer operating in unshielded environment

Instrumentation and Detectors 2016-04-14 v2 Atomic Physics

Abstract

A multi-channel atomic magnetometer operating in an unshielded environment is described and characterised. The magnetometer is based on D1 optical pumping and D2 polarimetry of Cs vapour contained in gas-buffered cells. Several technical implementations are described and discussed in detail. The demonstrated sensitivity of the setup is 100fT/Hz^1/2 when operating in the difference mode.
