Analyzing power errors in the optical pumping system of atomic spin comagnetometers by Jiale QUAN, Ye LIU, Longyan MA, Wenfeng FAN, Wei QUAN

“…This implies that slow drifts or fluctuations in pumping power can directly affect the long-term stability of the comagnetometer, which is critical for applications requiring minimal drift over time. However, when the power error frequency is lower than the electron Larmor frequency, the response amplitude decreases because of the slower response time of the noble gas atoms, which partially suppresses the impact of the power error. …”
