摘要: Systems and methods using a magneto-optical defect center material magnetic sensor system that uses fluorescence intensity to distinguish the ms=±1 states, and to measure the magnetic field based on the energy difference between the ms=+1 state and the ms=−1 state, as manifested by the RF frequencies corresponding to each state in some embodiments. The system may include an optical excitation source, which directs optical excitation to the material. The system may further include an RF excitation source, which provides RF radiation to the material. Light from the material may be directed through a light pipe to an optical detector. Light from the material may be directed through an optical filter to an optical detector.

摘要: A magnetometer includes a light source that provides excitation light and a magneto-optical defect center material with at least one defect center that transmits emitted light when excited by the excitation light. The magnetometer also includes a light sensor that receives the emitted light and a plurality of magnets that provide a bias magnetic field to the magneto-optical defect center material. The magnetometer further includes a ring magnet holder that has an outer ring with an outside surface and a plurality of holders extending from the ring. The plurality of holders hold the plurality of magnets in a same orientation with respect to one another. The magnetometer further includes a mount that has an inside surface. The outside surface of the outer ring slides along the inside surface of the mount.

摘要: A system for magnetic detection includes a nitrogen vacancy (NV) diamond material, a radio frequency (RF) excitation source that provides RF excitation to the NV diamond material, an optical excitation source that provides optical excitation to the NV diamond material, an optical detector that receives an optical signal emitted by the NV diamond material, a magnetic field generator that generates a magnetic field applied to the NV diamond material, and a controller. The controller controls the RF excitation source to apply a first RF excitation having a first frequency and a second RF excitation having a second frequency. The first frequency is associated with a first slope point of a fluorescence intensity response of an NV center orientation of a first spin state, and the second frequency is associated with a second slope point of the fluorescence intensity response of the NV center orientation of the first spin state.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to apparatuses and methods for stimulating a magneto-optical defect material with defect centers in a magnetic detection system using a stimulation process to significantly increase magnetic sensitivity of the detection system. The system utilizes a modified Ramsey pulse sequence pair or a shifted magnetometry adapted cancellation (SMAC) pair to detect and measure the magnetic field acting on the system resulting in mitigation of low-frequency noise sources to provide improved sensor sensitivity. For a SMAC pair measurement, two different values of tau are used as well as two different values of the microwave pulse width.

摘要: Some methods and configurations are disclosed for high bandwidth acquisition of magnetometer data with increased sensitivity. Some embodiments provide for increased bandwidth and sensitivity of the magnetometer by eliminating a reference signal for full repolarization of the magneto-optical defect center material prior to acquisition. Elimination of the reference signal eliminates the time needed to repolarize the magneto-optical defect center material and the acquisition time for the reference signal. Some implementations can include activating a radiofrequency (RF) pulse sequence to apply an RF field to the magneto-optical defect center material and acquiring a magnetic field measurement using the magneto-optical defect center material. The magnetic field measurement may be acquired independent of a reference magnetic field measurement.
