THE APPLICATION OF LASER-MICROWAVE RESONANCE IN TRAPPED RARE-EARTH IONS TO MAGNETOMETRY

摘要

The paper describes an application in magnetometry of an experimental set-up for measurement of hyperfine splittings, constructed in the Chair of Quantum Engineering and Metrology, Poznan University of Technology. A method of determination of magnetic flux density on the basis of the measurement of Zeeman splittings of the hyperfine sublevels of atomic (or ionic) electronic levels is discussed. The experimental setup based on a hyperboloidal Paul trap is presented. A review of the current progress of the work and the results hitherto obtained is given.
