BACKGROUND
[0002] In recent years, the atomic magnetometer based on the principle of Spin-Exchange Relaxation-Free (SERF) has attracted widespread attention, and the related technologies have developed unprecedentedly. The environmental remanence and the light frequency shift virtual magnetic field in the pumping light direction of the SERF atomic magnetometer can broaden the magnetic resonance linewidth, thereby weakening the response capability, so that a magnetic shielding technology is needed to obtain an extremely low magnetic field environment. The magnetic shielding technology is divided into passive magnetic shielding and active magnetic compensation, and the commonly used magnetic shielding barrel or magnetic shielding room can only attenuate the geomagnetic field of tens of thousands of nT to the order of several nT. In order to further reduce the remanence in the barrel, active magnetic compensation is needed. The traditional modulation type magnetic field compensation method with the configuration of pumping light and detection light orthogonal or the non-modulation type magnetic field compensation method based on the single-beam configuration has the problems that it is not applicable to the single-beam magnetometer or the magnetic field compensation resolution in the pumping light direction is too low. Based on this, the present application provides a method for precisely compensating three-dimensional remanence of single-beam SERF atomic magnetometer. Based on the principle of high-frequency magnetic field modulation, after the three-dimensional remanence coarse compensation of the single-beam SERF atomic magnetometer based on quasi-static magnetic field is completed, a high-frequency modulation magnetic field is applied, the magnetic fields of XYZ three axes are respectively scanned, and the zero-crossing point of the dispersion curve corresponding to the demodulated first-order harmonic is made to coincide with the zero-field point, so as to realize the precise magnetic field compensation of the single-beam SERF atomic magnetometer system. This method can be applicable to the single-beam SERF atomic magnetometer, and effectively improves the precision of magnetic compensation. SUMMARY

[0058] The coarse compensation of three-dimensional residual magnetism based on the quasi-static magnetic field comprises the following steps:
[0059] Step A1, the pumping light direction of the single-beam SERF atomic magnetometer system is defined as the Z-axis direction, then the X and Y directions are non-pumping axis directions, and XYZ constitutes a right-handed coordinate system. A low-frequency quasi-static magnetic field B osc cos(2pi f*t): B osc is the amplitude of the quasi-static magnetic field, B osc is greater than 0 and less than 10 nT; f is the frequency of the quasi-static magnetic field, and low frequency means that the value of f is small, and f is usually 1-6 Hz; t is time. The direct current bias magnetic field applied in the X-axis direction is adjusted, when the single-beam SERF atomic magnetometer system output signal appears approximately double frequency phenomenon is observed on an oscilloscope, that is, the frequency of the output signal is dominated by the 2f component instead of the f component, then the coarse compensation of the residual magnetism of the system in the X-axis direction is completed, and then the quasi-static magnetic field applied in the X-axis direction is zeroed.
[0060] Step A2, since the X and Y axes have symmetry, a low-frequency quasi-static magnetic field B osccos(2πf·t), adjust the direct current bias magnetic field applied in the Y-axis direction, when the approximate frequency doubling phenomenon appears in the output signal of the single-beam SERF atomic magnetometer system observed on the oscilloscope, i.e. the frequency of the output signal is dominated by the 2f component instead of the f component, then the coarse compensation of the residual magnetism in the Y-axis direction of the system is completed, and then the quasi-static magnetic field applied in the Y-axis direction is zeroed;
[0061] Step A3, the coarse compensation process of the residual magnetism in the pumping direction Z-axis is different from that in the X and Y axes, a low-frequency quasi-static magnetic field B osc cos(2πf·t) is applied in the Z-axis direction, and a direct current bias magnetic field B bias is applied in the X or Y axis direction at the same time bias , adjust the direct current bias magnetic field applied in the Z-axis direction, when the approximate frequency doubling phenomenon appears in the output signal of the single-beam SERF atomic magnetometer system observed on the oscilloscope, i.e. the frequency of the output signal is dominated by the 2f component instead of the f component, then the coarse compensation of the residual magnetism in the Z-axis direction of the system is completed, and finally the quasi-static magnetic field applied in the Z-axis direction and the direct current bias magnetic field B bias are all zeroed.
[0062] The three-dimensional residual magnetism fine compensation based on high-frequency magnetic field modulation includes the following steps:
[0063] Step B1, complete the three-dimensional residual magnetism coarse compensation based on the quasi-static magnetic field, apply a high-frequency modulation magnetic field B mod cos(2πf mod t) in the non-pumping axis X direction mod , B mod is the amplitude of the modulation magnetic field; f mod is the frequency of the modulation magnetic field, f mod is of the order of kHz; t is time. Scan the magnetic field in the X-axis direction, demodulate the first harmonic component of the output signal of the single-beam SERF atomic magnetometer system corresponding to the frequency f mod using a lock-in amplifier, find the zero-crossing point (intersection with the x-axis) of the dispersion curve corresponding to the first harmonic component in the two-dimensional coordinate system with the x-axis as the magnetic field axis and the y-axis as the output signal amplitude axis, and adjust the direct current bias magnetic field applied in the X-axis direction to make the zero-crossing point coincide with the zero-field point (origin of the two-dimensional coordinate system), so as to realize the fine compensation of the residual magnetism in the X-axis direction;
[0064] Step B2, keep the high-frequency modulation magnetic field B mod cos(2πf mod t) applied in the X-axis direction unchanged in step B1, additionally apply a direct current bias magnetic field in the Z-axis direction, and scan the magnetic field in the Y-axis direction, demodulate the output signal of the atomic magnetometer system corresponding to the frequency f moda zero point (intersection with the x-axis) of the dispersion curve corresponding to the first harmonic component, adjusting the direct current bias magnetic field applied in the Z-axis direction and making the zero point coincide with the zero field point (origin of the two-dimensional coordinate system), precise compensation of the residual magnetism in the Z-axis direction can be realized, and finally the high frequency modulation magnetic field B
[0065] Step B3, maintaining the high frequency modulation magnetic field B mod cos(2πf mod unchanged, an additional direct current bias magnetic field is applied in the Y-axis direction, and the magnetic field in the Z-axis direction is scanned, the output signal of the atomic magnetometer system is demodulated, and the first harmonic component corresponding to the frequency f mod is found, in a two-dimensional coordinate system with the x-axis as the magnetic field axis and the y-axis as the output signal amplitude axis, a zero point (intersection with the x-axis) of the dispersion curve corresponding to the first harmonic component, adjusting the direct current bias magnetic field applied in the Z-axis direction and making the zero point coincide with the zero field point (origin of the two-dimensional coordinate system), precise compensation of the residual magnetism in the Z-axis direction can be realized, and finally the high frequency modulation magnetic field B mod cos(2πf mod and the additional direct current bias magnetic field applied in the Y-axis direction are zeroed.
[0066] The single-beam SERF atomic magnetometer system experimental device includes a magnetic shielding barrel, a three-dimensional magnetic compensation coil and a coil skeleton, a laser, a polarizer, a 1 / 4 wave plate, an alkali metal cell, a heating oven, a photodetector, a signal generator, a transimpedance amplifier, an oscilloscope, a lock-in amplifier and a signal acquisition and display system. The magnetic shielding barrel is used for passive shielding of external magnetic fields (including the earth's magnetic field, etc.); the three-dimensional magnetic compensation coil and the signal generator are used in combination to generate a controlled magnetic field, so that active magnetic compensation can be performed; the laser generates a laser beam and satisfies that the laser wavelength is at the center of the D1 line of the alkali metal atom, and is used for pumping the alkali metal atom and obtaining the magnetic field information sensed by the atom; the polarizer is used to adjust the polarization state of the laser beam to linearly polarized light; the 1 / 4 wave plate is used to adjust the linearly polarized light to circularly polarized light; the alkali metal cell is the main unit of the sensitive magnetic field of the SERF atomic magnetometer; the heating oven is used to heat the alkali metal cell, so that the alkali metal atom reaches the required temperature for the SERF state; the photodetector is used to detect the light intensity change of the transmitted laser beam to obtain the magnetic field information; the signal generator is used to generate a waveform; the transimpedance amplifier is used to convert a current signal into a voltage signal and amplify; the oscilloscope is used to observe the waveform; the lock-in amplifier is used for field scanning and demodulation; the signal acquisition and display system is used to acquire the voltage signals output by the transimpedance amplifier and the lock-in amplifier and perform information processing and display.
[0067] After the step A1 single-beam SERF atomic magnetometer system is normally running, under the action of the pumping light in the Z-axis direction, the alkali metal atoms reach a steady state in a very short time. The pumping light transmits through the alkali metal cell and carries the polarization information of the atoms to be detected by the photodetector. A low-frequency quasi-static magnetic field B osc cos(2πf·t) is applied in the X-axis direction. The photodetector detects the light intensity information of the pumping light transmitting through the alkali metal cell and converts it into a photocurrent, which is converted into a voltage signal by a transimpedance amplifier and input into an oscilloscope. Under the action of the quasi-static magnetic field, the output signal V PD-X of the single-beam SERF atomic magnetometer system observed by the oscilloscope can approximately comply with the following formula:
[0068]
[0069] where k1 is a coefficient, V PD-X is the voltage signal output by the system after the quasi-static magnetic field is applied in the X-axis direction, P z-x is the z-direction component of the electronic polarization of the atom after the quasi-static magnetic field is applied in the X-axis direction, R op is the optical pumping rate, R rel is the relaxation rate, γ e is the electronic gyromagnetic ratio, B x0 is the remanence in the X-axis direction, B y0 is the remanence in the Y-axis direction, B z0 is the remanence in the Z-axis direction. As can be seen from the formula, when the X-axis remanence B x0 is large, the frequency component of one octave f in V PD-X dominates, and the signal with a frequency of approximately f observed on the oscilloscope is the signal with a frequency of approximately f. When the direct-current bias magnetic field applied in the X-axis is adjusted to offset the original remanence in the X-axis, i.e., B x0 is set to zero, the frequency component of two octaves 2f in V PD-X dominates, and the signal with a frequency of approximately 2f observed on the oscilloscope is the signal with a frequency of approximately 2f. Therefore, the rough compensation of the remanence in the X-axis can be realized according to the appearance of the two-octave phenomenon on the oscilloscope. Since the X and Y axes are both non-pumping axis directions, they have symmetry, and the analysis of the rough compensation of the remanence in the Y-axis is completely consistent with that of the X-axis.
[0070] The related principle of the step A3 rough compensation of the remanence in the Z-axis direction is as follows. Unlike the X and Y axes, the Z-axis is the direction of the pumping light. After the quasi-static magnetic field B osc cos(2πf·t) is applied in the Z-axis direction, an additional direct-current bias magnetic field B bias must be applied in the X or Y axis. The output signal V PD-Z of the single-beam SERF atomic magnetometer system observed on the oscilloscope can approximately comply with the following formula:
[0071]
[0072] where V PD-Z is the output voltage signal of the system after applying quasi-static magnetic field on Z axis, P z-z is the z component of electronic polarizability of the atom when quasi-static magnetic field is applied on Z axis, from the formula, when the remanence B z0 of Z axis is large, the first harmonic f component in V PD-Z dominates, the signal observed on the oscilloscope is of frequency f, when the DC bias magnetic field applied on Z axis is adjusted to cancel the remanence of Z axis, i.e. B z0 is zero, the second harmonic 2f component in V PD-Z dominates, the signal observed on the oscilloscope is of frequency approximately 2f, so the rough compensation of the remanence of Z axis can be realized according to the appearance of the second harmonic phenomenon on the oscilloscope, it is worth noting that if an additional DC bias magnetic field B bias is not applied on X or Y axis, the appearance of the second harmonic phenomenon cannot be observed on the oscilloscope.
[0073] The step B1 should be performed after the rough compensation of the remanence of Z axis is completed, a high frequency modulation magnetic field B mod cos(2πf mod t) is applied on X direction of the non-pumping axis, it is worth noting that due to the symmetry of X and Y axes, the high frequency modulation magnetic field applied on Y axis is also feasible, the principle analysis is consistent with that of X axis. When the remanence of three axes is not completely zero, and after the high frequency modulation magnetic field B mod cos(2πf mod t) is applied on X direction, the z component of electronic spin polarizability P z is a signal superimposed by high order harmonics of f mod , the pumping light information received by the photodetector is converted into a photoelectric current signal, then the signal is converted into a voltage signal by a transimpedance amplifier, and then the signal is input into a lock-in amplifier for modulation and demodulation, finally the first harmonic component corresponding to frequency f mod is output approximately in accordance with the following formula:
[0074]
[0075] where k2 is a coefficient between and is the output signal of the demodulated first harmonic component after the high frequency modulation magnetic field is applied on X axis, is the first harmonic component of the electronic spin polarizability of the atom corresponding to frequency f mod , R op is the optical pumping rate, R rel is the relaxation rate, and Δω is the magnetic resonance linewidth, Δω = (R op + Rrel ) / γ e γ e It represents the electron gyromagnetic ratio, J0 is the 0th order Bessel series term, J1 is the 1st order Bessel series term, and f is the frequency of the high-frequency modulated magnetic field. mod Generally, the value is in the kHz range, B x0 It is the X-axis remanence of the atomic magnetometer system, B y0 It is the remanence along the Y-axis, B z0 This refers to the Z-axis remanence. As the formula shows, when a scanning magnetic field (with continuously varying magnitude) is applied along the X-axis, in a two-dimensional coordinate system with the X-axis representing the magnitude of the scanning magnetic field and the y-axis representing the amplitude of the system output signal, the demodulated output... The signal is represented by a dispersion curve, and the intersection of the dispersion curve and the x-axis (magnetic field axis) can be approximated as the remanence B along the x-axis. x0 When B x0 When the field is zeroed, the intersection point will coincide with the origin (zero field point) of the two-dimensional coordinate system. Therefore, precise magnetic compensation of the X-axis can be achieved by using the fact that the sweep field dispersion curve after demodulating the first harmonic passes through the origin of the two-dimensional coordinate system.
[0076] Steps B2 and B3 precisely compensate for the residual magnetism of the Y and Z axes, by... As can be seen from the formula, the Y and Z axes are symmetrical. Unlike the precise magnetic compensation in the X-axis direction, when precisely compensating for the residual magnetism in the Y-axis, an additional DC bias magnetic field needs to be applied in the Z-axis direction; when precisely compensating for the residual magnetism in the Z-axis, an additional DC bias magnetic field needs to be applied in the Y-axis direction.

The alkali metal gas chamber 6 is installed within the magnetically shielded barrel 1 and heated until the alkali metal atomic number density reaches 10. 13 ~10 14 cm -3 The order of magnitude is used to ensure that the atoms operate in the SERF state. The laser frequency of the pump laser 3 is tuned to the D1 line of the alkali metal atoms. The output laser light is collimated, then polarized by the polarizer 4 and the quarter-wave plate 5, and then adjusted to circularly polarized light. The circularly polarized laser pumps and polarizes the alkali metal atoms. It passes through the alkali metal gas cell 6, is detected by the photodetector 8, and is converted into a photocurrent signal. This signal contains the electronic polarizability information of the alkali metal atoms. The photocurrent signal is converted into a voltage signal by the transimpedance amplifier for subsequent processing and analysis.
