Optically pumped quantum Mx–MR magnetometer with high oscillating magnetic field*

A dip of the transverse component of the magnetic moment as a function of resonance frequency-detuning will emerge when the intensity of oscillating magnetic field exceeds a specific value, which is demonstrated theoretically and experimentally. The linewidth of magnetic-resonance signal can be much smaller than when the Mx–MR magnetometer operates on condition that the intensity of oscillating magnetic field is smaller than this specific value, and the Mx–MR magnetometer can possess a much higher signal-to-noise ratio. The experimental result shows that the sensitivity of Mx–MR magnetometer can be improved by an order of magnitude under this condition.
