Area of Science:

  • Atomic physics and quantum sensing
  • Nanophotonics and optical engineering
  • Biomagnetism and medical imaging

Background:

  • Spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) atomic magnetometers offer high sensitivity for biomagnetism.
  • Conventional optical components hinder miniaturization and on-chip integration of SERF magnetometers.
  • Elliptically polarized laser pumping is crucial for certain SERF magnetometer designs but requires bulky optics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a compact, nanofabrication-compatible method for generating elliptically polarized light for SERF magnetometers.
  • To demonstrate an on-chip polarization control solution for integrated atomic magnetometers.
  • To enhance the feasibility of high-resolution biomagnetism imaging and portable atomic sensing.

Main Methods:

  • A single-piece metasurface was designed using a computer-assisted optimization algorithm.
  • The metasurface was fabricated on a SiO2 substrate using silicon-rich silicon nitride.
  • An 87Rb vapor cell magnetometer utilizing the metasurface was constructed and tested.

Main Results:

  • The metasurface achieved an ellipticity angle of 22.17° with <2% deviation from target polarization.
  • The fabricated metasurface exhibited >80% transmittance at 795 nm.
  • The resulting SERF magnetometer demonstrated a high sensitivity of 10.61 fT/Hz^1/2.

Conclusions:

  • A metasurface-based approach enables efficient on-chip polarization control for SERF atomic magnetometers.
  • This technology is a critical step towards fully integrated atomic magnetometers.
  • The developed method facilitates advancements in high-resolution biomagnetism imaging and portable atomic sensors.
