We have recently demonstrated a technique for 2D microwave (mw) field imaging using alkali atoms in a milimeter-thick vapor cell.1 Micrometer-scale miniaturized microwave circuits in industry, however require microfabricated vapor cell to look at details into the vicinity of the circuit waveguides. The 3D spatial resolution is achieved via micrometer-scale sensing volume with one dimension confined by the thickness of the vapor cell and the other two by introducing a buffer gas. The factors that suppress the coherence time include, collisions of alkali atoms with cell wall, alkali-buffer gas collisions, and alkali-alkali spin exchange collisions, are investigated. We report the status of our experiments on mw field imaging with such microcells.
