Applications of Nonlinear Magneto-Optic Effects with Ultra-Narrow Widths
نویسندگان
چکیده
A three-axis magnetometer based on the nonlinear magneto-optic effect is described. The magnetometer was used to measure the average (over the cell volume) residual magnetic field and to determine the shielding ratio of a multi-layer magnetic shield. The shot-noise-limited sensitivity of the magnetometer is estimated to be ≈10 Gs/Hz. A possible application to parity and time reversal invariance violation experiments is also considered.

In this article, we review the history, current status, physical mechanisms, experimental methods, and applications of nonlinear magneto-optical effects in atomic vapors. We begin by describing the pioneering work of Macaluso and Corbino over a century ago on linear magneto-optical effects (in which the properties of the medium do not depend on the light power) in the vicinity of atomic resonan...

متن کاملNonlinear Electro- and Magneto-Optic Effects related to Bennett Structures
Optical pumping of an atomic sample with narrow-band light can create sub-Doppler features, known as Bennett structures, in the velocity distribution of state populations. In the presence of static magnetic or electric fields, the corresponding sub-Doppler features in the index of refraction can cause nonlinear optical rotation and induced ellipticity of resonant light propagating through the a...
