Abstract

We describe recent work at NIST to develop compact, low-power instruments based on a combination of precision atomic spectroscopy, advanced diode lasers and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Designed to be fabricated in parallel in large numbers, these "chip-scale" atomic devices may eventually impact a wide range of applications, from the global positioning system to magnetic resonance imaging and inertial navigation. We focus here on recent work to develop compact, high-performance magnetometers.
