Sub‐Ensemble Isolation in SERF Magnetometry Enabled by Micrometer‐Scale Polarization Control

open access: yesNanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 14, 27 July 2026.
Inter‐channel crosstalk caused by atomic diffusion fundamentally limits the spatial resolution of single‐cell multi‐channel SERF magnetometers. In this work, a spatial‐variant polarization metasurface is employed to achieve effective sub‐ensemble isolation within a single SERF atomic ensemble, which enables the suppression of inter‐channel crosstalk ...
