About the Company

Polatomic develops and manufactures advanced magnetometers for military, geomagnetic, and planetary magnetic field measurement applications. The company has pioneered development of laser-pumped resonance magnetometers that have improved magnetic field detection capability one order of magnitude over conventional resonance magnetometers.

Polatomic was founded in 1982 by Dr. Robert E. Slocum, and is located in Richardson, Texas. (See Contact Us.) The technical team at Polatomic includes a highly talented staff of scientists and engineers who are experienced across a wide variety of disciplines, including atomic and molecular physics, electromagnetics engineering, optical engineering, electrical engineering, digital design, and system software design.

The company is well known for the innovation, quality, and performance of its products.  Polatomic has been awarded numerous government contracts from sponsors including the NAVAIR, NAVSEA, Office of Naval Research (ONR), DARPA, NASA/JPL, and the National Science Foundation. (See Applications.)
