Opportunity timeline
In plain English
The Department of Energy is offering licenses for Los Alamos National Laboratory’s patented Multi-Channel Atomic Magnetometer technology. The non-cryogenic module uses one vapor cell, optical system and detector array to provide 16 sensing channels, with potential to scale to hundreds for biomagnetic imaging and other sensing applications. The technology is at TRL 4, and exclusive or non-exclusive licenses may be available to existing and startup companies; this is not a request for development services.
About this opportunity
Unlike conventional multichannel atomic magnetometers that require one vapor cell and one optical system for each sensing channel, the patented Multi-Channel Atomic Magnetometer (MCAM) architecture from Los Alamos National Laboratory replaces many independent atomic magnetometers with a single shared vapor cell and optical system that simultaneously generates multiple independent sensing channels. MCAM is a non-cryogenic multi-channel optical quantum sensor in a single module that captures ultra-faint biomagnetic signals from the brain, heart and other sources with sensitivity approaching that of the cryogenic SQUID-based systems that have defined the field for decades. MCAM delivers that…
