Optical magnetic combination method for suppressing the Rb polarization-induced magnetic gradient in Rb-Xe NMR co-magnetometers

Tengyue Wang, Jinpeng Peng, Zhanchao Liu +2 more

The Rb polarization-induced magnetic field gradient affects the Xe nuclear spin relaxation properties and degrades the long-term stability of the NMR co-magnetometers. This paper proposes a combination suppressing scheme, which uses the second-order magnetic field gradient coils to compensate for the Rb polarization-induced magnetic gradient under counter-propagating pump beams. Based on the theoretical simulation, we find that the spatial distribution of the Rb polarization-induced magnetic gradient and the magnetic field distribution generated by gradient coils are complementary. The experimental results indicate that the compensation effect is 10% higher under the counter-propagating pump beams scheme compared with the compensation effect under the conventional single beam. Besides, due to a more uniform spatial distribution of electronic spin polarization, the Xe nuclear spin polarizability is improved and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of NMR co-magnetometers could be further enhanced. The study provides an ingenious method for suppressing magnetic gradient in the optically polarized Rb-Xe ensemble, which is expected to improve the performance of the atomic spin co-magnetometers.

Low frequency magnetic field suppression in an atomic spin co-magnetometer with a large electron magnetic field

Jiancheng Fang, Yao Chen, Sheng Zou +5 more

Abstract In a K-Rb- 21 Ne co-magnetometer, the Rb electron magnetic field which is experienced by the nuclear spin is about 100 times larger than that of the K in a K- 3 He co-magnetometer. The large electron magnetic field which is neglected in the K- 3 He co-magnetometer coupled Bloch equations model is considered here in the K-Rb- 21 Ne co-magnetometer to study the low frequency magnetic field suppression effect. Theoretical analysis and experimental results shows that in the K-Rb- 21 Ne spin co-magnetometer, not only the nuclear spin but also the large electron spin magnetic field compensate the external magnetic field noise. By comparison, only the 3 He nuclear spins mainly compensate the external magnetic field noise in a K- 3 He co-magnetometer. With this study, in addition to just increasing the magnetic field of the nuclear spins, we can suppress the magnetic field noise by increasing the density of the electron spin. We also studied how the magnetic field suppression effect relates to the scale factor of the K-Rb- 21 Ne co-magnetometer and we compared the scale factor with that of the K- 3 He co-magnetometer. Lastly, we show the sensitivity of our co-magnetometer. The magnetic field noise, the air density fluctuation noise and pumping power optimization are studied to improve the sensitivity of the co-magnetometer.
