We present a theoretical study of the spectra produced by optical--radio-frequency double resonance devices, in which resonant linearly polarized light is used optical pumping and detection processes. extend previous work presenting algebraic results are valid for atomic states with arbitrary angular momenta, rf intensities, geometries. The only restriction made assumption low intensity. discussed view their use magnetometers.
A clock comparison experiment, analyzing the ratio of spin precession frequencies stored ultracold neutrons and 199Hg atoms, is reported. No daily variation this could be found, from which set an upper limit on Lorentz invariance violating cosmic anisotropy field b perpendicular < 2 x 10(-20) eV (95% C.L.). This first for free neutron. result also interpreted as a direct gravitational dipole moment neutron |gn| 0.3 eV/c2 m spin-dependent interaction with Sun. Analyzing Earth, based previous...
We performed ultracold neutron storage measurements to search for additional losses due (n) mirror-neutron (n′) oscillations as a function of an applied magnetic field B. In the presence mirror B′, would be maximal B≈B′. did not observe any indication nn′ and placed lower limit on oscillation time τnn′>12.0 s at 95% C.L.

We present a method for measuring the magnetic field that allows hyperfine and Zeeman optical pumping, excitation detection of resonance by means single laser beam with time-modulated ellipticity. This improvement us to significantly simplify Bell-Bloom magnetometric scheme, while retaining its sensitivity. The does not require use radio frequency fields, which is essential when creating arrays sensors. results experimental studies demonstrate efficiency proposed potential applicability in...
We present the concept and results of an investigation all-optical vector-magnetic-field sensor scheme developed for biological applications such as nonzero-field magnetoencephalography magnetocardiography. The differs from classical two-beam Bell-Bloom in that detecting laser beam is split into two beams, which are introduced cell orthogonal directions, ratio amplitudes magnetic resonance signals these beams their phase difference measured; strong optical pumping lower hyperfine level...
Magnetic sensors developed for application in magnetoencephalography must meet a number of requirements; the main ones are compactness, sensitivity and response speed.

A new variometer is developed comprising a fast-response scalar optically pumped potassium magnetometer inside rotating magnetic field created by two-dimensional coil system mounted on quartz frame. The measures three components of the Earth's field: total intensity and two transverse components. theoretically predicted accuracy component measurement not worse than 0.1 nT. noise-limited sensitivity measured in quiet has been proved to be 25 pT rms at 0.2 s 30 1 min; comparison with proton...
We present an experimental study of the spectra produced by optical--radio-frequency double resonance in which resonant linearly polarized laser light is used optical pumping and detection processes. show that obtained for cesium are excellent agreement with a very general theoretical model developed our group [Weis, Bison, Pazgalev, Phys. Rev. A 74, 033401 (2006)] we investigate limitations this model. Finally, results discussed view their use relaxation processes aligned alkali-metal vapors.
