The present invention provides an atom magnetometer without a response blind area. The atom magnetometer comprises a laser, an expanded beam collimation device, a circularly polarized light conversiondevice, an acoustic optical modulator, an Helmholtz coil, an atom air chamber, a reflector set, a photoelectric detector, a lock-in amplifier, a signal processing system and a heating device. The atom magnetometer is simple in structure; and two exciting methods which apply an excitation magnetic field and perform light modulation are combined, and components of the total spin angular momentum ofa sensing atom in two directions are detected to achieve measurement of a blind area without response. The present invention further discloses a method for measuring an external magnetic field by employing an atom magnetometer without response blind area and method. The measurement method is simple, has no response blind area, can rapidly and accurately obtain related data of an external magneticfield, and is high in practicability.
