This article is designed as a step-by-step guide to optically pumped magnetometers based
on alkali atomic vapor cells. We begin with a general introduction to atomic magneto-optical …

Magnetic field gradients affect numerous modern sensitive measurements and physics
studies using atomic ensemble, resulting in the loss of coherence. In some cases, the …

The ground-state Hanle effect (GSHE) in alkali-metal atomic vapor using a single circularly
polarized light wave underlies one of the most reliable and simple techniques of modern …

In this article, we study the theoretical behaviour of all the possible hyperfine transitions (π,
σ+ and σ−) between the 5S and 6P states of 87 Rb and 85 Rb atomic vapors under the …

We report on a practical approach to vector biomagnetism measurement with an optically
pumped magnetometer for measuring total magnetic field intensity. Its application to vector …

The method is presented for converting a coherent population trapping (CPT) atomic clock
into a CPT vector (compass-) magnetometer without mechanically moving parts through a …

We present an experimental scheme performing scalar magnetometry based on the fitting of
Rb \rmD_2 D_2 line spectra recorded by derivative selective reflection spectroscopy from an …

Magneto-optical subnatural-linewidth resonances of electromagnetically-induced absorption
(EIA) in an alkali vapour cell have been experimentally studied. The observation …

Electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) of cesium atoms exposed to counter-
propagating light waves with orthogonal linear polarizations is studied. Probe beam …

Spin-exchange relaxation-free atomic magnetometers have gradually replaced
superconducting quantum interference devices in numerous applications owing to the …
