Abstract

The comparison of various operational modes of optically pumped magnetometers in [V. Schultze et al., Opt. Express 20, 14201 (2012)] used some incorrectly cited data. A corrected table of magnetometer parameters is given.

In Table 2 of our paper [1

V. Schultze, R. Ijsselsteijn, T. Scholtes, S. Woetzel, and H.-G. Meyer, “Characteristics and performance of an intensity-modulated optically pumped magnetometer in comparison to the classical M(_x) magnetometer,” Opt. Express 20(13), 14201–14212 (2012). [CrossRef] [PubMed]

], a comparison of optically pumped magnetometers working in various operational modes was given. Unfortunately, some data taken from Ref [2

]. (regarding the paraffin-coated cells in the upper part of the table) were wrong. Meanwhile they are corrected in Ref [3

]. The accordingly revised Table 2 is given below.

Paraffin-coated vacuum cells (upper part) are separated from buffer gas cells (lower part).

All conclusions in the original paper [1

] are unaffected by this correction.
