We present first, encouraging results obtained with an experimental apparatus based on Coherent Population Trapping and aimed at detecting biological (cardiac) magnetic field in magnetically compensated, but unshielded volume. The work includes magnetic-field and magnetic-field-gradient compensation and uses differential detection for cancellation of (common mode) magnetic noise. Synchronous data acquisition with a reference (electro-cardiographic or pulse-oximetric) signal allows for improving the S/N in an off-line averaging. The set-up has the relevant advantages of working at room temperature with a small-size head, and of allowing for fast adjustments of the dc bias magnetic field, which results in making the sensor suitable for detecting the bio-magnetic signal at any orientation with respect to the heart axis and in any position around the patient chest, which is not the case with other kinds of magnetometers.

We demonstrate a portable all-optical intrinsic scalar magnetic gradiometer composed of miniaturized cesium vapor cells and vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). Two cells, with an inner dimension of 5 mm x 5 mm x 5 mm and separated by a
baseline of 5 cm, are driven by one VCSEL and the resulting Larmor precessions are probed by a second VCSEL through optical rotation. The off-resonant linearly polarized probe light interrogates two cells at the same time and the output of the intrinsic gradiometer is proportional to the magnetic field gradient measured over the given baseline. This intrinsic gradiometer scheme has the advantage of avoiding added noise from combining two scalar magnetometers. We achieve better than 18 fT/cm/rt-Hz sensitivity in the gradient measurement. Ultra-sensitive short-baseline magnetic gradiometers can potentially play an important role in many practical applications, such as nondestructive evaluation and unexploded ordnance (UXO) detection. Another application of the gradiometer is for magnetocardiography (MCG) in an unshielded environment. Real-time MCG signals can be extracted from the raw gradiometer readings. The demonstrated gradiometer greatly simplifies the MCG setup and may lead to ubiquitous MCG measurement in the future.
We report on a single-channel rubidium radio-frequency atomic magnetometer operating in un-shielded environments and near room temperature with a measured sensitivity of 130 fT/sqrt{Hz}. We demonstrate consistent, narrow-bandwidth operation across th
e kHz - MHz band, corresponding to three orders of magnitude of magnetic field amplitude. A compensation coil system controlled by a feedback loop actively and automatically stabilizes the magnetic field around the sensor. We measure a reduction of the 50 Hz noise contribution by an order of magnitude. The small effective sensor volume, 57 mm^3, increases the spatial resolution of the measurements. Low temperature operation, without any magnetic shielding, coupled with the broad tunability, and low beam power, dramatically extends the range of potential field applications for our device.
We present a portable optically pumped magnetometer instrument for ultra-sensitive measurements within the Earths magnetic field. The central part of the system is a sensor head operating a MEMS-based Cs vapor cell in the light-shift dispersed Mz mod
e. It is connected to a compact, battery-driven electronics module by a flexible cable. We briefly review the working principles of the device and detail on the realization of both, sensor head and electronics. We show shielded and unshielded measurements within a static magnetic field amplitude of 50 uT demonstrating a noise level of the sensor system down to 100 fT/sqrt{Hz} and a sensor bandwidth of several 100 Hz. In a detailed analysis of sensor noise we reveal the system to be limited by technical sources with straightforward strategies for further improvement towards its fundamental noise limit of 12 fT/sqrt{Hz}. We compare our sensors performance to a commercial SQUID system in a measurement environment typical for geomagnetic observatory practice and geomagnetic prospection.
We report on a two-channel magnetometer based on nonlinear magneto-optical rotation in a Cs glass cell with buffer gas. The Cs atoms are optically pumped and probed by free running diode lasers tuned to the D$_2$ line. A wide frequency modulation of
the pump laser is used to produce both synchronous Zeeman optical pumping and hyperfine repumping. The magnetometer works in an unshielded environment and spurious signal from distant magnetic sources is rejected by means of differential measurement. In this regime the magnetometer simultaneously gives the magnetic field modulus and the field difference. Rejection of the common-mode noise allows for high-resolution magnetometry with a sensitivity of pthz{2}. This sensitivity, in conjunction with long-term stability and a large bandwidth, makes possible to detect water proton magnetization and its free induction decay in a measurement volume of 5 cm$^3$
We report an all-optical atomic vector magnetometer using dual Bell-Bloom optical pumping beams in a Rb vapor cell. This vector magnetometer consists of two orthogonal optical pumping beams, with amplitude modulations at $^{85}$Rb and $^{87}$Rb Larmo
r frequencies respectively. We simultaneously detect atomic signals excited by these two pumping beams using a single probe beam in the third direction, and extract the field orientation information using the phase delays between the modulated atomic signals and the driving beams. By adding a Herriott cavity inside the vapor cell, we improve the magnetometer sensitivity. We study the performance of this vector magnetometer in a magnetic field ranging from 100~mG to 500~mG, and demonstrate a field angle sensitivity better than 10~${mu}$rad/Hz$^{1/2}$ above 10~Hz.
