An in situ simultaneous measurement of magnetic coil constants and nonorthogonal angles method is proposed using the atomic magnetometer. Based on the transient response of the atomic spin polarization under the different magnetic fields, we establish the corresponding measurement model of magnetic coil constants and nonorthogonal angles through the relationship between the Larmor precession frequency and the external magnetic field. By this model, we experimentally obtained the coil constants of x , y, and z axes are, respectively, 9.04 ± 0.10, 8.94 ± 0.07, and 4.34 ± 0.02 nT / V in our system. The nonorthogonal angles are 89.04 deg between x axis and y axis, 88.60 deg between y axis and z axis, and 91.15 deg between z axis and x axis. This method can be used to simultaneously measure magnetic coil constants and nonorthogonal angles without relying on external instruments, which provides a basic guarantee for the accurate calculation sensitivity of spin-exchange-relaxation-free atomic magnetometers, especially for miniaturized atomic magnetometers. |
