Resonance magneto meter with optical pumping using a sequential polarization.

摘要

This optically pumped magnetometer incorporates means (42, 44, 46, 48, 50) for changing the polarisation sequentially, either from right-handed circular to left-handed circular polarisation, or in direction. This improves the isotropy of the magnetometer.
