Recently, optically pumped atomic magnetometers (OPAMs) replacing superconductive quantum interference device-based magnetometers have attracted a considerable amount of attention. To apply the OPAMs to biomagnetic field measurements, simultaneous multilocation measurements are required. To fulfill the specific requirement, we have developed a hybrid cell, which contains potassium and rubidium atoms. The OPAM with a hybrid cell can enhance the spatial homogeneity due to the suppression of pump-beam absorption. Thus, we can have multiple measurement locations inside a hybrid cell with multiple pump and probe lasers. In this paper, we proposed a novel method to accomplish simultaneous multilocation measurements based on pump-beam modulation. Using two optical choppers, we operated a two-channel OPAM with two modulated pump beams. We investigated the signal strength of the OPAM as a function of modulation frequency and found that the signal strength decreased as the modulation frequency increased. Subsequently, we measured the magnetic field distributions generated from a loop coil to validate the proposed method and could confirm that they showed good agreements with the theoretical values. These results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method based on pump-beam modulation.
