Abstract

The invention discloses a vertical-coupling nanometer optical waveguide dual-optical-path chip-level magnetometer. The magnetometer comprises a laser. Light beams emitted by the laser are coupled into a Y waveguide splitter through a vertical coupling grating I, wherein one light beam is output after passing through a phase modulation unit, and the other light beam is output after adjustment and compensation. The two light beams are then output through a vertical coupling grating II and a vertical coupling grating III respectively, pass through a polarizer, an attenuation plate and a wave plate in sequence, are collimated and focused, and then go into an air chamber. After emergence, the two light beams are converted into electrical signals through a detection unit and then input to an integrated circuit chip through a subtracter. The integrated circuit chip controls the laser and the phase modulation unit. Compared with a single-optical-path chip-level magnetometer, through dual-optical-path common-mode rejection, the influence of optical power fluctuation and frequency fluctuation noise can be reduced greatly, the signal-to-noise ratio of the CPT magnetometer can be improved effectively, and thus, the sensitivity of the chip-level magnetometer is improved greatly.
