Applied Scientific Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A magnetometer is described, which uses the optical pumping technique in rubidium. This apparatus is of special small design to measure the homogeneity of a magnetic field produced by a pair of large coils in Helmholtz position. Some of the results are discussed in connection with the dimensions of the cells and the intensity of the high frequency field.
