Alignment of a vector magnetometer to an optical prism.

A method for alignment of a vector magnetometer to a rigidly attached prism is presented. This enables optical comparison of the magnetometer axes to physical surfaces in the apparatus, and thus an absolute determination of the magnetic field direction in space. This is in contrast with more common techniques, which focus on precise determination of the relative angles between magnetometer axes...

Compact Vector Magnetometer for Pico Satellites

A small vector magnetometer has been constructed for DTUsat – a Danish CubeSat student project at the Technical University of Denmark. The presented magnetometer is used for attitude determination in conjunction with sun sensors, and supply local field measurements for the magnetotorquer controller. Present launch date is June 30th, 2003 from Plesetsk, Russia. Constraints on mechanical size, ma...

Optical Properties of Cesium Telluride

Cesium telluride is the photoemissive material used in many laser-driven RF-guns like in TTF-FEL. The material has been already used since few years but a detailed study of its optical properties is still missing. In this paper, we present the measurements of the cesium telluride reflectivity versus wavelength and incidence angle. These measurements are used to calculate the real and complex pa...
