Optimization of Beam Characteristics for Quantum Magnetometers Based on 3D Mems Alkali Vapor Cells

Wenqi Li, Jintang Shang

This paper reports, for the first time, a systematic optimization of beam characteristics for quantum magnetometers utilizing 3D MEMS rubidium vapor cells. A novel single-beam quantum magnetometer is designed where the beam characteristics can be modified and characterized in situ. The optimized beam diameter exhibits more homogeneous spatial distribution, resulting in an increase of up to 327.3% for the polarization lifetime of the atomic ensemble within 3D MEMS vapor cells. In addition, the optimized beam diameter effectively increases the number of atoms interacting with photons, leading to an improvement of 962.5% in the response slope of the quantum magnetometer. The experimental results provide valuable insights and practical guidelines for the design of high-performance single-beam quantum magnetometers based on 3D MEMS alkali vapor cells.

Characterization of 87Rb MEMS vapor cells for miniature atomic magnetometers

Minwei Jiang, Hao Zhai, Chunyu Jiang +9 more

Accurate characterization of atomic vapor cells is crucial for enhancing the sensitivity of miniature atomic magnetometers. In this study, a fast and efficient approach is developed to characterize relaxation properties of the inner surface of the 87Rb micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) vapor cell. Based on the zero-field level crossing effect, the transverse relaxation rate was experimentally determined, and the depolarization coefficient of 0.097 for atom-wall collisions in the 87Rb MEMS vapor cell was obtained. The experiments demonstrated that the alkali-wall collision relaxation gradually dominates the depolarization of the 87Rb ensemble as the radius of the vapor cell decreases. This research provides a quantitative method to evaluate the effectiveness of the MEMS vapor cell anti-relaxation coatings and offers the design inspiration for MEMS atomic vapor cells from the perspective of relaxation characterization. It is beneficial for the development of weak magnetic field detections such as biomagnetism detection in ambient environments.
