High Bandwidth Optical Magnetometer

November 28, 2012
Author(s)
Ricardo Jimenez Martinez, William C. Griffith, Svenja A. Knappe, John E. Kitching, Mark Prouty
We demonstrate a scalar 87Rb optical magnetometer that retains magnetic eld sensitivities below 10 pT/√Hz over 3dB bandwidths of 10 kHz in an ambient eld Bo = 11.4 microT and using a measurement volume of 1 mm 3. The magnetometer operates at high atomic
