Some of the most sensitive methods of measuring magnetic fields use interactions of
resonant light with atomic vapour. Recent developments in this vibrant field have led to …

Alkali-metal magnetometers use the coherent precession of polarized atomic spins to detect
and measure magnetic fields. Recent advances have enabled magnetometers to become …

This book is addressed at upper-level undergraduate and graduate students involved in
research in atomic, molecular, and optical Physics. It will also be useful to researchers …

Sensitive magnetometers have been applied in a wide range of research fields, including
geophysical exploration, bio-magnetic field detection, ultralow-field nuclear magnetic …

Here we demonstrate an atomic magnetometer that has a bandwidth of more than 100 kHz
and a sensitivity of 180 fT/√ Hz at a Fourier frequency of 8 Hz, and 0.7 nT/√ Hz at 100 kHz …

The relaxation of atomic polarization in buffer-gas-free, paraffin-coated cesium vapor cells is
studied using a variation on Franzen's technique of “relaxation in the dark”[Franzen, Phys …

Using laser optical pumping, widths and frequency shifts are determined for microwave
transitions between ground-state hyperfine components of Rb 85 and Rb 87 atoms …

Recent work investigating resonant nonlinear magneto-optical rotation (NMOR) related to
long-lived (τ rel∼ 1 s) ground-state atomic coherences has demonstrated potential …

The technique of nonlinear magneto-optical rotation with amplitude modulated light is
developed. The technique is an alternative to its counterpart with frequency modulated light …

Dynamic nonlinear magneto-optical-rotation signals with frequency-and amplitude-
modulated laser light have been observed and investigated with a spherical glass cell of 3 …
