Research Abstract |
Optically pumped atomic magnetometers have high sensitivity, and have receivedconsiderable practical concern for their potential application to biomagnetic measurements such as magnetocadiography and magnetoencephalography, which bring us novel findings of biological activities. In this study, microplasmas are introduced to the magnetometers. As a result, we obtained fast switching sensor by analyzing and controlling parameters of the microplasmas
