Abstract
We explore the impact of pumping beams with different transverse intensity profiles on the performance of the spin-exchange relaxation-free(SERF)atomic magnetometers(AMs).We conduct experiments comparing the traditional Gaus-sian optically-pumped AM with that utilizing the flat-top optically-pumped(FTOP)method.Our findings reveal that the FTOP-based approach outperforms the conventional method,exhibiting a larger response,a narrower magnetic resonance linewidth,and a superior low-frequency noise performance.Specifically,the use of FTOP method leads to a 16%enhance-ment in average sensitivity within 1 Hz-30 Hz frequency range.Our research emphasizes the significance of achieving transverse polarization uniformity in AMs,providing insights for future optimization efforts and sensitivity improvements in miniaturized magnetometers.
