Quantum sensor based on rare-earth-ion doped optical crystal and use thereof

Provided is a quantum sensor based on a rare-earth-ion doped optical crystal, having : a rare-earth-ion doped optical crystal; a low temperature providing unit, which provides a low temperature operating environment to the rare-earth-ion doped optical crystal; a constant magnetic field generation unit, which applies a constant magnetic field to the rare-earth-ion doped optical crystal; a light field generation unit, which provides a light field performing optical pumping on the rare-earth-ion doped optical crystal to prepare the rare-earth-ions in an initial spin state, and a light field for exciting Raman scattering of the rare-earth-ion doped optical crystal; a pulsed magnetic field generation unit, which applies a pulsed magnetic field perpendicular to the constant magnetic field to the rare-earth-ion doped optical crystal to make the rare-earth-ion doped optical crystal generate a spin echo; and a heterodyne Raman scattering light field detection and analysis unit, which detects and analyzes a Raman scattering light field radiated from the rare-earth-ion doped optical crystal. Further provided are uses of this quantum sensor for magnetic field sensing and electric field sensing as well as a sensing method.
