Vectorial atomic magnetometer based on coherent transients of laser absorption in Rb vapor
arXiv:1402.5540 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.89.043836
Abstract
We have designed and tested an atomic vectorial magnetometer based on the analysis of the coherent oscillatory transients in the transmission of resonant laser light through a Rb vapor cell. We show that the oscillation amplitudes at the Larmor frequency and its first harmonic are related through a simple formula to the angles determining the orientation of the magnetic field vector. The magnetometer was successfully applied to the measurement of the ambient magnetic field.
