Herriott-cavity-assisted closed-loop Xe isotope comagnetometer

Chongyan Hao, Q.-Q. Yu, C.-Q. Yuan +2 more

We present in this paper a Herriott-cavity-assisted closed-loop Xe isotope gas comagnetometer. In this system, $^{129}\mathrm{Xe}$ and $^{131}\mathrm{Xe}$ atoms are pumped and probed by polarized Rb atoms and continuously driven by oscillating magnetic fields, whose frequencies are kept on resonance by phase-locked loops. Different from other schemes, we use a Herriott cavity to improve the Rb magnetometer sensitivity instead of the parametric modulation method, and this passive method is designed to improve the system stability while maintaining the sensitivity. This system has demonstrated an angle random walk of $0.06{}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}/{\mathrm{h}}^{1/2}$ and a bias instability of $0.2{}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$/h (0.15 $\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{Hz}$) with a bandwidth of 1.5 Hz. By adding a closed-loop Rb isotope comagnetometer, we can extend this system to dual simultaneously working comagnetometers sharing the same cell. This extended system has wide applications in precision measurements, where we can simultaneously and independently measure the coupling of anomalous fields with proton spin and neutron spin.

Long spin-1/2 noble gas coherence times in mm-sized anodically bonded batch-fabricated 3He-129Xe-87Rb cells

Mark E. Limes, Nezih Dural, Michael V. Romalis +4 more

As the only stable spin-1/2 noble gas isotopes, 3He and 129Xe are promising systems for inertial rotation sensing and searches for exotic spin couplings. Spin-1/2 noble gases have intrinsic coherence times in the order of hours to days, which allows for incredibly low frequency error of free-precession measurements. However, relaxation in miniature cells is dominated by interactions with the cell wall, which limits the performance of a chip-scale sensor that uses noble gases. While 129Xe wall relaxation times have previously been limited to 10s of seconds in mm-sized cells, we demonstrate the first anodically bonded batch-fabricated cells with dual 3He-129Xe isotopes and 87Rb in a 6 mm3 volume with 3He and 129Xe T2 coherence times of, respectively, 4 h and 300 s. We use these microfabricated cells in a dual noble gas comagnetometer and discuss its limits.
