Description

A method of the atom magnetometer without response blind area and its measurement external magnetic field
Technical field
The present invention relates to weak magnetic field testing technical fields, particularly, be related to it is a kind of without response blind area atom magnetometer and It measures the method for external magnetic field.
Background technology
In many vital fields, as basic physics research, biomedicine, survey of deep space, geologic prospect, earthquake are pre- Survey and NMR signal detection etc., there is an urgent need to effectively be detected to Weak magentic-field.Magnetometer master common at present There are fluxgate, hall device, proton magnetometer, superconducting quantum interference device and atom magnetometer.Wherein, Superconducting Quantum is dry It is that current input applies the highest magnetometer of sensitivity to relate to device, has been realizedThe sensitivity of magnitude.However, super Quantum interference device is led due to needing huge refrigeration equipment, it is inconvenient for use, it limits its scope of application.Atom magnetometer is base In the magnetometer of Spin precession detection.For sensing atom (alkali metal atom or4He), when the resultant spin angular momentum of atom around When external magnetic field precession and magnetic resonance, the frequency (i.e. magnetic resonance frequency) of precession is a constant γ with the ratio of external magnetic field, passes through inspection Survey the detection that external magnetic field can be realized in magnetic resonance frequency.Under the action of optical pumping, phase is in due to largely sensing atom Dry state, the sensitivity of atom magnetometer are high.Its theoretical sensitivity is higher than superconducting quantum interference device, and is testing at present Room, the optimum sensitivity that atom magnetometer obtains have reachedMagnitude.Since atom magnetometer does not need huge system Cool equipment, therefore it is more extensive than superconducting quantum interference device application scenario.
The method of atom magnetometer optical pumping realizes the polarization of sensing atom, when system is in equilibrium state, sensing The resultant spin angular momentum of atom will be along outer magnetic field direction, without around external magnetic field precession, thus cannot achieve external magnetic field Detection.Resultant spin angular momentum in order to realize sensing atom senses the resultant spin angular momentum of atom around external magnetic field precession It is not zero in the component perpendicular to outer magnetic field direction, atom magnetometer generally using application excitation field or is adjusted pumping light The method of system, excitation generate the resultant spin angular momentum component perpendicular to outer magnetic field direction.Method for applying excitation field, when When external magnetic field is perpendicular to pumping light, pumping light cannot achieve effective polarization to sensing atom, thus cannot achieve external magnetic field Effective detection;And the method for being modulated to pumping light, when external magnetic field is parallel to pumping light, modulation light can not encourage Resultant spin angular momentum component of the atom generation perpendicular to outer magnetic field direction is sensed, thus cannot achieve effective inspection of external magnetic field It surveys.
Atom magnetometer generally uses the detection method that light absorption or light rotate.Detection light, which passes through, is filled with sensing atom After atomic air chamber, the light intensity (optical absorption method) or plane of polarization (light rotary process) that detect light will be by sensing atom resultant spin angular momentums Along the modulation of optical propagation direction component.When external magnetic field is parallel to detection light, since sensing atom resultant spin angular momentum is passed along light Broadcasting durection component will not be around external magnetic field precession, thus cannot achieve effective detection of external magnetic field.
As seen from the above, when external magnetic field is along certain directions, some common at present atom magnetometers will be unable to reality That is, there is response blind area in effective detection of existing external magnetic field.And in practical applications, external magnetic field is usually along any direction. Thus realize that a kind of atom magnetometer without response blind area has important application value.

The resultant spin angular momentum of the sensing atom of atom magnetometer is usually with the spin polarization vector representation of sensing atom. Under the action of circularly polarized light, sensing atom assemblage will be polarized, and a large amount of atom that senses is in coherency states, macroscopically shows as Sense the spin polarization of atom.When using applying excitation field or the method that is modulated to pumping light, excitation generate perpendicular to When the spin polarization component of outer magnetic field direction, perpendicular to outer magnetic field direction spin polarization component will around external magnetic field precession, into Dynamic frequency is equal to the modulating frequency of excitation field frequency or pumping light.When the frequency of excitation field or modulation light is equal to magnetic resonance When frequency, perpendicular to the amplitude maximum of the spin polarization component of outer magnetic field direction.The method thus rotated by light absorption or light Detect outer magnetic field direction spin polarization component, track signal amplitude maximum when excitation field frequency or pumping light modulation frequency Rate, you can obtain magnetic resonance frequency, and then obtain the size of external magnetic field.
Three-dimensional cartesian coordinate system is chosen, three axis of coordinate system are respectively x-axis, y-axis and z-axis.Atom magnetometer uses light The detection method of absorption, pumping light are first to be propagated along the x-axis direction with a branch of circularly polarized light with detection light.Circularly polarized light is along x-axis side To after the atomic air chamber for being filled with sensing atom, changes the direction of propagation of circularly polarized light by speculum, make it along y-axis side To across the atomic air chamber for being filled with sensing atom.In this way, the intensity of circularly polarized light simultaneously by spin polarization vector along x-axis with The modulation of component in y-axis both direction.
Circularly polarized light is modulated into line amplitude while applying excitation field along the z-axis direction, and the frequency etc. of light modulation When the frequency of excitation field, if external magnetic field is along the x-axis direction, under the action of excitation field, excitation is generated perpendicular to x-axis side To spin polarization component, around external magnetic field precession, after circularly polarized light passes through atomic air chamber, intensity by y-axis direction from Revolve the modulation of polarization components;If external magnetic field is along the y-axis direction, under the action of excitation field, excitation is generated perpendicular to y-axis direction Spin polarization component, around external magnetic field precession, after circularly polarized light passes through atomic air chamber, intensity is spinned by x-axis direction The modulation of polarization components;If external magnetic field is along the z-axis direction, under the action of modulation light, will excitation generate perpendicular to z-axis direction from Polarization components are revolved, around external magnetic field precession, after circularly polarized light passes through atomic air chamber, intensity is by x-axis and y-axis both direction Spin polarization component modulation.Can to sum up deduce, when external magnetic field in either direction when, in the effect of excitation field and modulation light Under, total energy excitation generates the spin polarization component perpendicular to outer magnetic field direction, around external magnetic field precession, and the light intensity of circularly polarized light It is always modulated by the spin polarization component perpendicular to outer magnetic field direction, thus a kind of atom without response blind area may be implemented Magnetometer.
