Detection of low-conductivity objects using eddy current measurements with an optical magnetometer

Abstract: Detection and imaging of an electrically conductive object at a distance can be achieved by inducing eddy currents in it and measuring the associated magnetic field. We have detected lowconductivity objects with an optical magnetometer based on room-temperature cesium atomic vapor and a noise-canceling differential technique which increased the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by more than three orders of magnitude. We detected small containers with a few mL of salt-water with conductivity ranging from 4-24 S/m wit… Show more

“…Based on Eq. (1), our record performance with the r el ¼ 0.91 Sm À1 sample of V ¼ 5:0 ml yields s ¼ 4:55 Â 10 À6 Sm 2 , an improvement of more than two orders of magnitude over our previous work 20 (s ¼ 3:13 Â10 À4 Sm 2 ) and of an order of magnitude with respect to recent detection reports 21 (s % 3:0 Â 10 À5 Sm 2 ). The r el ¼ 4.5 Sm À1 sample corresponds to s ¼ 2:25 Â 10 À5 Sm 2 , $26% better than previous works.…”

“…In a different context, current nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center magnetometers performing electromagnetic induction imaging 32 showed s % 1:8 Â 10 À1 Sm 2 . However, we note that assessing the smallest detectable object was not the scope of that work, 32 of previous ones, 16,20,21 or of this Letter.…”
