The measurement of linearly polarized light rotation is the key technique in atomic magnetometer. It influences the sensitivity of atomic magnetometer directly. The basic principle of polarizer beam splitter detecting was analyzed. The ZF7 optical glass and solenoid were used to generate standard small angle based on Faraday effect. The signal of AC rotational angle was extracted by lock-in amplifier. The experiment proved that the method can measure 8×10-7rad small optical rotation. As the linearly polarized light rotation is 20mrad in atomic magnetometer, the signal to noise ratio reaches 25000.
The three basic criterions of pumping unit were analyzed. The criterions could be extracted from power curve of pumping unit in one stroke. When the pumping unit was adjusted by one criterion, it could also fit the other criterions. Under this condition the pumping unit could be considered as well balance. The practical testing and data prove that the pumping unit can meet the requirements of criterion one and two, approach criterion three after adjusting by power method.
All optical cesium (Cs) atomic magnetometer with high sensitivity is an important technique to detect weak magnetic field. The Cs vapor cell is filled with He buffer gas to reduce spin relaxation rate. However the pressure of He also influences the Cs atomic polarizability due to pressure broadening effect. In this work, the principle of all optical Cs atomic magnetometer is analyzed. The rate equation is used to calculate Cs atomic polarizability as the pressure of He is about 100Torr and pure Cs vapor cell. The calculation shows that higher pressure of He buffer gas can decrease Cs atomic polarizability without considering spin-exchange collisions, as the pump beam frequency is locked to Cs D1 transition F=3F=4.
The compound balance method is put forward to overcome the defect of conventional beam-pumping unit. The theory of secondary balance system is introduced. The CAD and ADAMS software are used to build up virtual prototype of pumping unit. The simulation result proves that the method can keep the advantage of beam pumping-unit and eliminate negative torque of crank shaft completely. The systematic efficiency increases effectively.
