Optically Pumped Magnetometers use light to drive an atomic vapor into a Non-Equilibrium Steady State for sensing. This kind of state is achieved when spin-exchange collisions, together with optical pumping, dominate the relaxation…
This paper has been withdrawn, as further work has shown that an atom laser as described by the model herein does not have a steady state, so it doesn't matter much what it would look like.
