Technique - (7) Nonlinear magneto-optical rotation (NMOR) magnetometry

Type: Experimental

Description:

Department(s)/lab(s): TRIUMF | TUCAN Collaboration @ TRIUMF
Summary:

Franke works on the TUCAN neutron-EDM experiment and its precision magnetometry / co-magnetometry systems for controlling and monitoring magnetic fields. The work complements NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensing (DEER, NMR, T1 relaxometry) at pT/sqrt(Hz) sensitivity by pursuing the same field-sensing goals in a different physical platform.

Department(s)/lab(s): M. Smoluchowski Institute of Physics | Photonics / Atomic Optics @ Jagiellonian
Summary:

Gawlik works on nonlinear magneto-optics and atomic magnetometry (NMOR, NV-diamond magnetometry) and contributes to the GNOME network. This vapour-phase approach reaches femto-to-picotesla sensitivities complementary to NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensors (DEER, nano-NMR, T1 relaxometry) that operate near the pT/sqrt(Hz) regime.

Department(s)/lab(s): Department of Physics | Jackson Kimball Lab @ CSUEB
Summary:

Jackson Kimball uses atomic magnetometry (including SERF and nonlinear magneto-optical rotation) for tests of fundamental symmetries and ultralight dark-matter searches; he co-leads GNOME and contributes SERF magnetometry to CASPEr. This vapour-phase approach reaches femto-to-picotesla sensitivities complementary to NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensors (DEER, nano-NMR, T1 relaxometry) that operate near the pT/sqrt(Hz) regime.

Department(s)/lab(s): M. Smoluchowski Institute of Physics | Optical Magnetometry group @ Jagiellonian
Summary:

Pustelny leads Krakow's optical-magnetometry group, developing atomic magnetometers, zero-field NMR and running/analysing the GNOME dark-matter network. This vapour-phase approach reaches femto-to-picotesla sensitivities complementary to NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensors (DEER, nano-NMR, T1 relaxometry) that operate near the pT/sqrt(Hz) regime.

Department(s)/lab(s): Department of Physics | Experimental Quantum Optics and Photonics (EQOP) @ Strathclyde
Summary:

Riis co-leads EQOP, developing unshielded and MEMS-based optically pumped magnetometers (double-resonance, free-induction-decay) for geomagnetic sensing, magnetocardiography and magnetomyography, alongside atomic clocks and cold-atom devices. This vapour-phase approach reaches femto-to-picotesla sensitivities complementary to NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensors (DEER, nano-NMR, T1 relaxometry) that operate near the pT/sqrt(Hz) regime.

Department(s)/lab(s): Department of Physics and Astronomy | Stalnaker Lab @ Oberlin
Summary:

Stalnaker runs an atomic-vapour magnetometry and direct frequency-comb spectroscopy lab and is a node of the GNOME network searching for exotic-field and dark-matter transients. This vapour-phase approach reaches femto-to-picotesla sensitivities complementary to NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensors (DEER, nano-NMR, T1 relaxometry) that operate near the pT/sqrt(Hz) regime.

Department(s)/lab(s): Department of Physics | Physics of Atomic Media (FRAP) @ Fribourg
Summary:

Weis pioneered optically pumped alkali-vapour magnetometry (double-resonance, magneto-optical) with applications to biomagnetism and fundamental physics; FRAP is a founding GNOME node. This vapour-phase approach reaches femto-to-picotesla sensitivities complementary to NV-center diamond ensemble quantum sensors (DEER, nano-NMR, T1 relaxometry) that operate near the pT/sqrt(Hz) regime.
