  • Patent number: 12625205
    Abstract: A nuclear magnetic resonance sensor applies a high frequency magnetic field based on an RF signal to a target and generates an observation signal with a frequency shifted from that of the RF signal by a frequency of an NMR signal. A mixer generates an IF demodulation signal including the NMR signal. A low-pass filter passes a low frequency component of the IF demodulation signal. In a digitizing device, a physical field generator generates a magnetic field corresponding to the IF demodulation signal passed through the low-pass filter, an optical quantum sensor generates light corresponding to the magnetic field by a sensing member and converts the light into a sensor signal by a photoelectric element, and an analog/digital converter digitizes the sensor signal. The optical quantum sensor performs a quantum operation on the sensing member and causes the sensing member to generate the light corresponding to the magnetic field.

    Abstract: A light receiving device receives fluorescence emitted by a magnetic resonance member in response to excitation light and generates a fluorescence sensor signal corresponding to a fluorescence intensity. A CMR arithmetic part performs common mode rejection with respect to the fluorescence sensor signal based on a reference light sensor signal of reference light that is obtained by branching the excitation light in consideration of nonlinearity of a level of the fluorescence sensor signal corresponding to an amount of the excitation light and generates a CMR signal. An A/D converter digitizes the CMR signal. An analog/digital converter digitizes the reference light sensor signal. An arithmetic processing device derives a measurement value of a measured field based on the digitized CMR signal and the digitized reference light sensor signal.
