研究目的
To develop a general recipe for predicting the field sensitivity of cavity optomechanical magnetic field sensors and to explore the potential for both scalar and vectorial magnetometers.
研究成果
The developed numerical approach accurately models the sensitivity of optomechanical magnetometers, predicting significant improvements over previous experimental results. Optimizations in magnetostrictive material composition and device geometry could enable sensitivities as low as 20 pT/√Hz, paving the way for advanced scalar and vectorial magnetometers.
研究不足
The study is limited by the assumptions made in the numerical model, such as the linear approximation of stress-magnetic field relation and the neglect of Maxwell stress tensor in certain conditions. Additionally, the model's predictions may vary from experimental results due to fabrication defects and material imperfections.
