CPT Magnetometer with Atomic Energy Level Modulation
-
Abstract
We propose and experimentally investigate a coherent population trapping state based magnetometer prototype with 87Rb atoms. Through modulating Zeeman sublevels with an ac magnetic field, not only a phase sensitive detection scheme suitable for miniature magnetometer is realized, but also the detection resolution of magnetic field intensity could be improved by
a factor of two. Our study result indicates that it is a promising low power consumption miniature sensitive low magnetic field sensor offering spatially resolved measurement at the sub-millimetre level. -
