POWER SUPPLY AND TELEMETRY SYSTEM FOR OPTICAL MAGNETOMETERS

摘要

An optical magnetometer, e.g. helium magnetometer, power supply and telemetry system for aerial surveying. One or more magnetometers are placed in aerodynamic devices and pulled behind an airplane by tow cable. Power to operate the magnetometers is supplied over the cables from a primary source in the airplane. The cables also carry a depumping signal from the airplane to the magnetometers and output signals from the magnetometers to the airplane.
