Abstract

The invention discloses a cesium atom magnetometer comprising a laser, a first polarization beam splitter, a laser frequency stabilization module, a reflecting mirror, a beam expander, a half wave plate, a second polarization beam splitter, a quarter wave plate, a cesium atom bubble, a radio frequency field coil, a magnetic shielding barrel, a lens, a photoelectric detector and a phase-locked module. By applying the self-made 894nm external cavity semiconductor laser, a laser frequency stabilization device and a low-noise magnetic field measurement environment are established, and the double-resonant cesium atom magnetometer based on combination of optical pumping and radio frequency magnetic resonance phases is realized. Through parameter optimization of the magnetometer and closed-loop measurement, the external magnetic field measured by the magnetometer achieves the ultimate sensitivity of 19fT / Hz<1 / 2> and the intrinsic sensitivity of 8.6pT / Hz<1 / 2>, the spatial resolution rate is less than 2cm, and the cesium atom magnetometer is a precision measurement powerful tool for studying of high excited level of atoms and molecules, and has important application value in the aspects ofbiomedicine, geophysics, quantum frequency markers, military detection and the like.
