Geometry influence of the micro alkali vapor cell on the sensitivity of the chip-scale atomic magnetometers

Yu Ji, Qi Gan, Lei Wu +1 more

This paper focuses on geometry influence of the micro alkali vapor cell on the sensitivity of the chip-scale atomic magnetometers. For the first time, by using micro spherical alkali vapor cells instead of traditional micro planar alkali vapor cells, we demonstrate a chip-scale atomic magnetometer with a ten-fold improvement in sensitivity experimentally. Besides, results also show that the micro spherical cell has improved anti-relaxation properties, especially at low buffer gas pressure. The geometry of the micro vapor cell might also be important for the performance of other chip-scale atomic devices including chip-scale atomic clocks, vector atomic microwave electrometers and atomic gyroscopes.

Microfabricated Atomic Magnetometer

Peter D. D. Schwindt, Svenja A. Knappe, Vishal Shah +4 more

Using the techniques of microelectromechanical systems, we are developing chip-scale atomic sensors based on laser excitation of alkali atoms. Recently, we demonstrated a magnetometer physics package based on coherent population trapping that had a sensitivity of 50 pT/Hzfrac12at 10 Hz, had a volume of 12 mm3, and used 195 mW of power as presented by Schwindt et al. (2004). To improve the sensitivity and reduce the power consumption of the magnetometer, we are evaluating other methods of interrogating the atoms for use in microfabricated devices. One of these methods uses frequency modulated nonlinear magneto-optical rotation (FM NMOR). We demonstrate that an FM NMOR magnetometer can be made to self-oscillate, offering simple construction and low power consumption
