Popis: The performance of a multilayer magnetic shield directly affects and limits the sensitivity improvement of an atomic magnetometer. To better meet the requirements of spin-exchange relaxation free atomic magnetometer for the environmental magnetic field, the magnetic shield should be optimized. At present, the optimizations have focused only on a single objective, such as the axial shielding factor. However, the importance of other goals should not be neglected. In this paper, multiobjective optimization of the shield is carried out to obtain a better comprehensive performance. First, according to the structural characteristics of the multilayer shield, a multiobjective optimization model is established. Then, a multiobjective genetic algorithm is utilized to optimize the shield. After optimization, a Pareto optimal solution set is obtained. Furthermore, depending on the desired design requirements, two sets of optimal combinations of target values and variable parameters are selected, based on the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method and the lowest magnetic noise. This method can obtain a balance between different optimization objectives and effectively improve the comprehensive performance of the shield.
