Influences of parameters, such as the temperature of rubidium vapor cell, the power of pump beam, and the strength of RF magnetic field and static magnetic field on the amplitude and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the FID signal, have been investigated in the time domain and frequency domain. At the same time, the sensitivities of the magnetometer for the single-pass and the triple-pass probe beam cases have been compared by changing the optical path of the interaction between probe beam and atomic ensemble. Compared with the sensitivity of \u223c21.2 pT\/Hz1\/2 in the case of the single-pass probe beam, the amplitude of FID signal in the case of the triple-pass probe beam has been significantly enhanced, and the sensitivity has been improved to \u223c13.4 pT\/Hz1\/2. The research in this paper provids a reference for the subsequent study of influence of different buffer gas pressure on the FWHM and also a foundation for further improving the sensitivity of FID rubidium atomic magnetometer by employing a polarization-squeezed light as probe beam, to achieve a sensitivity beyond the photo-shot-noise level.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22197598","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,10]],"date-time":"2022-10-10T05:12:21Z","timestamp":1665378741000},"page":"7598","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["A Multi-Pass Optically Pumped Rubidium Atomic Magnetometer with Free Induction Decay"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Lulu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Quantum Optics and Quantum Optics Decices, Institute of Opto-Electronics, Shanxi University, Taiyuan 030006, China"}]},{"given":"Yongbiao","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Quantum Optics and Quantum Optics Decices, Institute of Opto-Electronics, Shanxi University, Taiyuan 030006, China"}]},{"given":"Ni","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Quantum Optics and Quantum Optics Decices, Institute of Opto-Electronics, Shanxi University, Taiyuan 030006, China"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Quantum Optics and Quantum Optics Decices, Institute of Opto-Electronics, Shanxi University, Taiyuan 030006, China"},{"name":"Collaborative Innovation Center of Extreme Optics, Shanxi University, Taiyuan 030006, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8055-000X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Junmin","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Quantum Optics and Quantum Optics Decices, Institute of Opto-Electronics, Shanxi University, Taiyuan 030006, China"},{"name":"Collaborative Innovation Center of Extreme Optics, Shanxi University, Taiyuan 030006, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"17088","DOI":"10.1038\/natrevmats.2017.88","article-title":"Probing condensed matter physics with magnetometry based on nitrogen-vacancy centres in diamond","volume":"3","author":"Casola","year":"2018","journal-title":"Nat.
