Abstract
Disclosed is a method and apparatus relating generally to scalar atomic magnetometers. The disclosed methods and apparatus utilize a pressurized sample chamber and a high frequency pulsed pump laser to increase spin polarization and significantly suppress heading errors. These methods and apparatus may also include alternating polarization of the pump light between pulses.
