This article is designed as a step-by-step guide to optically pumped magnetometers based
on alkali atomic vapor cells. We begin with a general introduction to atomic magneto-optical …

Ultralight axion-like particles are well-motivated dark matter candidates introduced by
theories beyond the standard model of particle physics. However, directly constraining their …

Multiparameter sensing such as vector magnetometry often involves complex setups due to
various external fields needed in explicitly connecting one measured signal to one …

We demonstrate a single-beam three-axis parametric-resonance magnetometer operated in
near-zero fields. By reflecting the incident laser beam at 90 in the vapor cell and applying …

Magnetic gradiometers have wide practical and academic applications, and two important
types of field gradient observables are the total field gradient and field gradient tensor …

Introduction This review is specifically aimed at providing deeper understanding of the
ground state Hanle effect through novel methods of atomic vapor interaction with resonant …

We present in this paper a Herriott-cavity-assisted closed-loop Xe isotope gas
comagnetometer. In this system, Xe 129 and Xe 131 atoms are pumped and probed by …

Magnetic field vector information is crucial for many advanced applications, such as
navigation and biomedical imaging. However, existing methods often lack high sensitivity or …

The detection dead zones and heading errors induced by light shifts are two important
problems in optically pumped scalar magnetometry. We introduce an atomic-orientation …
