Towards Practical Self-Calibrating Vector Magnetometry in an Atomic Vapor Cell
Abstract
The goal of this project is to self-calibrate vector magnetic fields using atomic spectroscopy on a microwave polarization ellipse. To accomplish this our goal is to show that Rabi oscillations can be used to extract self-consistent information in a hot atomic vapor cell of Rb. The method consists of two stages: First, the mapping of an applied microwave field polarization using atomic transitions. Second, the microwave polarization ellipse can be used for calibrated vector magnetometry. Our goal is to characterize both the sensitivity and accuracy of the vector and scalar measurements extracted from Rabi measurements.
