Elliptically polarized atomic magnetometers (AMs) offer high sensitivity and compactness by using a single laser beam to polarize atoms detect optical rotation angles. However, their advantage over absorption-based AMs has not been sufficiently demonstrated. This is because the parameters significantly affect pumping probing processes, leading parameter coupling when both processes are optimized simultaneously. Such presents considerable challenge for achieving simultaneous optimization, ultimately limiting achievable sensitivity. In this study, we developed modified input–output model magnetometer, based on which an decoupling optimization method proposed. Our enables us obtain optimal simultaneously, including ellipticity, intensity, frequency of light. Consequently, 6 fT/Hz1/2 was achieved $4\times 4\times4$ mm3 87Rb vapor cell (an effective volume 0.027 cm3). work offers efficient strategy achieve higher single-beam miniaturized AMs, contributing promote biomagnetism research.

Magnetocardiography (MCG), which is nowadays 60 years old, has not yet been fully accepted as a clinical tool. Nevertheless, large body of research and several trials have demonstrated its reliability in providing additional diagnostic electrophysiological information if compared with conventional non-invasive electrocardiographic methods.

Functional imaging equipment based on miniaturized atomic magnetometers with array arrangement exhibits promising prospects in biomagnetic scenarios. However, crosstalk from the modulated magnetic field between adjacent sensors degrades accuracy. To address this issue, study proposes an all-optical dual-axis zero-field magnetometer using light-shift modulation. We utilize acousto-optic modulator to modulate a detuned circularly polarized beam for pumping spin ensembles. This allows optical modulation of polarization and meanwhile generates modulation, effectively replacing conventional By probe detect rotation angle perpendicular direction pump beam, we construct configuration longitudinally magnetometer, enabling measurements.

We propose a non-magnetic transparent heating film based on silver nanowires (Ag-NWs) for application in spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) magnetic field measurement devices. To achieve ultra-high sensitivity atomic magnetometers, the atoms within alkali metal vapor cell must be maintained stable and uniform high-temperature environment. Ag-NWs, as conductive material with exceptional electrical conductivity, are well suited this application. By employing high-frequency AC heating, we effectively minimize associated noise. The experimental results demonstrate that proposed film, utilizing surface method, can temperatures exceeding 140 °C, which is sufficient to vaporize atoms. average flux coefficient of 0.1143 nT/mA. Typically, current increases, larger generated. When integrated system discussed paper, characteristic mitigate low-frequency interference.

Abstract Exceptional point degeneracies, which are spectral singularities of non‐Hermitian systems, have been widely utilized for building optical, mechanical, or electrical sensing systems with much larger responses than those utilizing Hermitian degeneracies. However, such suffer from enhanced noise, negates the response and thus does not provide any improvement in signal‐to‐noise ratio. Recently, coherent perfect absorber (CPA)‐laser, also utilizes singularity, has used resulting better noise robustness responsivity. Nonetheless, CPA‐laser (CPAL) implementation requires all system parameters to be immutable, hinders progress toward their practical use purposes. Here, a tunable electronic is reported that overcomes these obstacles providing ultrahigh sensitivity as validated experiments monitoring arterial pressure respiration. This CPAL scheme inductive coupling between gain loss sub‐components thereby whole can decomposed into an active reader passive sensor, enables tunability performance compared previously systems. Moreover, proposed exhibits exceptional point‐based having similar circuit structure. research paves way exploring applications may profound impact on next‐generation, ultrasensitive electromagnetic system.
