In one embodiment, a method is provided. The method comprises: spin polarizing alkali atoms in a cavity; shifting resonant frequencies of the cavity at a rate proportional to a magnitude of a magnetic field incident upon the cavity; reflecting modulated right hand circularly polarized light and modulated left hand circularly polarized light from the cavity; transforming the reflected modulated right hand circularly polarized light to reflected modulated vertically polarized light, and the reflected modulated left hand circularly polarized light to reflected modulated horizontally polarized modulated light; generating a first error signal having an amplitude proportional to the shift in a resonant frequency corresponding to the reflected modulated vertically polarized light and a sign indicative of whether a frequency of the reflected modulated vertically polarized light is above or below the corresponding resonant frequency; generating a second error signal having an amplitude proportional to the shift in a resonant frequency corresponding to the reflected modulated horizontally polarized light and a sign indicative of whether a frequency of the reflected modulated horizontally polarized light is above or below the corresponding resonant frequency; adjusting a carrier frequency of the modulated right hand circularly polarized light in response to the first error signal; adjusting a carrier frequency of the modulated left hand circularly polarized light in response to the second error signal; and generating a measured Larmor frequency.

The invention relates to a sensor (10) which includes a magnetic sensor (12) generating a response signal (V) when plunged into an external magnetic field (B ext ) creating an external flux (φ ext ) through said sensor. Said sensor includes: a control circuit (14) taking the response signal from the sensor as input and generating a feedback current (i CR ) as output; and a conductive wire (16) arranged in the vicinity of the sensor and connected to the output of the control circuit, the wire having the feedback current passing therethrough, the circuit and the conductive wire being such that a magnetic feedback field (B CR ) is created in which the flux through the sensor substantially compensates for the external flux at each instant, an output signal of the sensor being made up of the feedback current.

A heat exchanger (5) includes a thermally conductive cylindrical container (40), at least one thermally conductive tube (30), a cooling column (90), and a cryogen coldhead (100). The cooling column and coldhead condense gaseous helium to liquid helium to maintain a reservoir of liquid helium in the thermally conductive cylindrical container (40). The at least one thermally conductive tube (30) coils circumferentially around the container (40), and extends to at least one superconducting magnet coil heat exchanger (20), and back. The tube forms a selected loop which holds gaseous helium at pressure up about 104 bar (1500 PSI) or room temperature to about 0.75 bar at cryogenic temperatures.
摘要:
A measuring method and apparatus in which a measurable object (23) is irradiated with acoustic waves to measure a change in property value of charged particles in the object from electromagnetic waves induced thereby. A part (2) of the measurable object irradiated with an acoustic focused beam (1) is in a charge distribution state in which positive charged particles (3) are greater in number in the part (2) where electromagnetic waves induced by positive charged particles (3) are not canceled by those induced by negative charged particles (4) and where net electromagnetic waves (6) are induced. Since a change in concentration of positive charged particles (3) and/or negative charged particles (4) changes the intensity of electromagnetic waves (6), it is possible to know such a change in concentration of the charged particles from a change in intensity of electromagnetic waves (6).
摘要:
A multimode resonator resonating at two or more frequencies is operated at cryogenic temperatures and composed of a superconducting material or a normal metal with a superconducting section serving as a RF superconducting switch. The multimode resonator is coupled to a NMR spectrometer and a RF switch power source, wherein its one frequency is selected to correspond to the operating frequency of the NMR spectrometer and at least a second frequency is tuned to a frequency of RF switch power source, unrelated to the spectrometer frequency, therefore power at this frequency does not perturb the operation of the spectrometer. When activated, the RF switch power source induces a current sufficient to approach or exceeds the critical current in one or more sections of the superconducting material of the multimode resonator, thereby increasing its resistance and reducing the Q factor of the multimode resonator.

The method for cancellation of low frequency noise in a magneto-resistive mixed sensor (1) comprising at least a superconducting loop with at least one constriction and at least one magneto-resistive element (6) comprises a set of measuring steps with at least one measuring step being conducted with the normal running of the mixed sensor and at least another measuring step being conducted whilst an additional super-current is temporarily injected in the at least one constriction of the at least one superconducting loop of the mixed sensor (1) up to a critical super-current of the constriction so that the result of the at least another measuring step is used as a reference level of the at least one magneto-resistive element (6).
摘要:
A superconducting magnetism measuring apparatus is provided which is capable of favorably measuring a faint degree of magnetism generated in the cervical or waist part of a subject to be measured with no need of the neck or waist of the subject being bent forward. Its sensor cylinder (10) is arranged of a four-sided cylindrical shape having a width along the y direction of not smaller than 5 cm and not greater than 20 cm and a width along the x direction of not smaller than 5 cm and not greater than 20 cm. One side at the distal end (10c) of the sensor cylinder (10) is moderately curved to project at the center not smaller than 0.5 cm and not greater than 4 cm from both the upper and lower ends along the y direction. This allows the side at the distal end of the sensor cylinder (10) to come into direct contact with the cervical or waist part of the subject when the neck or waist remains not belt forward, whereby a faint magnetism generated in the spinal cords or nerves of the subject can favorably be measured.

A magnetometer (20) comprises a magnetic field pickup coil (22) and a magnetic field detector (26) that receives electrical signals from the pickup coil (22) and produces an electrical detector output (28) responsive thereto. The pickup coil (22) and detector (26), which are preferably made of high temperature superconductors, are enclosed in an insulated enclosure (32) having no vacuum insulation structure. Preferably, the enclosure is made of a foamed polymer material such as styrofoam. A coolant is provided to the interior of the enclosure, to cool the pickup coil and detector to a temperature below their superconducting transition temperature. A number of such modular magnetometers may be connected together to form an array.
