Femtotesla 4He magnetometer with a multipass cell.
In this Letter, we propose a single-beam nonlinear magneto-optical rotation (NMOR) magnetometer with a multipass 4He gas-discharged cell. In contrast to the single-pass cell, the multipass cell allowed laser beams to pass through the metastable-state atomic ensemble 22 times, which directly increases the optical path length and significantly enhances magneto-optical rotation in the 4He gas sample. Based on nonlinear Faraday rotation, the 4He magnetometer with the multipass cell demonstrates a noise floor of 9 fT/Hz1/2, which approaches the photon-shot noise floor limit of 6.4 fT/Hz1/2. In addition, the wider linewidth in metastable-state atoms realizes an NMOR 4He magnetometer with a 3 dB bandwidth of 4.3 kHz, in contrast to the ultranarrow linewidth in the antirelaxation-coated cells or spin-exchange relaxation-free regime alkali-metal cells with buffer gas. Since the 4He cell functions without heating or cryogenic cooling, the femtotesla sensitivity and kilohertz-bandwidth 4He magnetometer exhibits potential in biomagnetic applications such as magnetocardiography and magnetoencephalography.
期刊介绍:
The Optical Society (OSA) publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed articles in its portfolio of journals, which serve the full breadth of the optics and photonics community.
Optics Letters offers rapid dissemination of new results in all areas of optics with short, original, peer-reviewed communications. Optics Letters covers the latest research in optical science, including optical measurements, optical components and devices, atmospheric optics, biomedical optics, Fourier optics, integrated optics, optical processing, optoelectronics, lasers, nonlinear optics, optical storage and holography, optical coherence, polarization, quantum electronics, ultrafast optical phenomena, photonic crystals, and fiber optics. Criteria used in determining acceptability of contributions include newsworthiness to a substantial part of the optics community and the effect of rapid publication on the research of others. This journal, published twice each month, is where readers look for the latest discoveries in optics.
