Atomic Magnetometry for Biological Imaging In Earth's Native Terrain (AMBIIENT)

Abstract

The Atomic Magnetometry for Biological Imaging In Earth's Native Terrain (AMBIIENT) program is developing novel magnetic sensors capable of providing high-sensitivity signal measurements in the presence of ambient magnetic fields. The AMBIIENT program will exploit novel physical architectures that are resistant to the impact of common noise sources. The AMBIIENT sensor itself must be able to detect the gradient of a local magnetic field while subtracting the much larger ambient signal. This would enable low-cost, portable, high-sensitivity measurements for in-the-field applications. In addition to medical research and clinical diagnosis, AMBIIENT sensors promise to enable diverse sensing applications including magnetic gradient navigation, anomaly detection, perimeter monitoring, and ultralow frequency communications.
