Abstract
Abstract A high-sensitivity SERF atomic magnetometer based on a noise-suppressed master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system is demonstrated. The spectrum and frequency noise of the laser are measured and it is proved that the frequency noise in the MOPA system is affected by the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) stimulated from the power amplifier. The frequency noise of the MOPA system is decreased by filtering out the ASE background in the spectrum through a bandpass filter. The sensitivity of the SERF atomic magnetometer is improved by using the frequency noise-suppressed MOPA system as a pumping laser. This method can also be applied to other precision measurement fields based on the MOPA systems that have high requirement for frequency noise of laser.
