A high sensitive optical amplitude modulation magnetometer is investigated and demonstrated experimentally. We build an experimental platform for the atomic magnetometer and configure it as a Bell–Bloom magnetometer with amplitude modulation of 50% duty cycle square waveform. The open-loop input-output model is deduced from the Bloch equation and is verified experimentally. Instead of locking the frequency by using a voltage control oscillator, we realize a closed loop using the coils to generate a feedback field which avoids the stringent requirement of a high resolution frequency meter and markedly expands the dynamic range as well as the bandwidth. We realize an open loop sensitivity of 0.8 pT/Hz1/2 at 20 Hz using a single light beam, which exceeds that of the state-of-the-art Bell–Bloom magnetometers, and the corresponding closed loop sensitivity is 1.2 pT/Hz1/2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
