    Abstract: According to some aspects of the present disclosure, an atomic clock and methods of forming and/or using an atomic clock are disclosed. In one embodiment, an atomic clock includes: a light source configured to illuminate a resonance vapor cell; a narrowband optical filter disposed between the light source and the resonance vapor cell and arranged such that light emitted from the light source passes through the narrowband optical filter and illuminates the resonance vapor cell. The resonance vapor cell is configured to emit a signal corresponding to a hyperfine transition frequency in response to illumination from the light source, and a filter cell is disposed between the light source and the resonance vapor cell and configured to generate optical pumping. An optical detector is configured to detect the emitted signal corresponding to the hyperfine transition frequency.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology relate generally to the field of imaging the spatial distribution of magnetic field of biologic and non-biologic materials that may change over time and more particularly to the apparatus and methods for making such a static or dynamic spatial imaging of magnetic field distributions. Some embodiments provide for apparatus and methods for a novel magnetographic camera which enables a unique ability to determine the spatial distribution of magnetic field in a biological or non-biological sample with high spatial and temporal resolutions and high sensitivity. The use of these embodiments will greatly expand the applications of OPM-based cameras in medicine, science and industry.
