Abstract

To avoid the broadening of Zeeman resonances of the vector atomic magnetometer working in an unshielded environment, the rapid and accurate magnetic compensation is necessary. A three dimensional mini spherical compensating system is presented, which can be used together with a chip-scale atomic magnetometer to realize an ultra-high precision field measurement. Based on the field gradient method, parameters are optimized to obtain a uniformity of 10-3 over the region of one half radius with a good tolerance on dimensional variations. A prototype applied in the single laser beam scheme has been built and the experimental results demonstrate the validity of the design.
