The authors review the history, current status, physical mechanisms, experimental methods,
and applications of nonlinear magneto-optical effects in atomic vapors. They begin by …

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 …

Several dispersionlike features in the magnetic field dependence of the nonlinear magneto-
optic effect were observed in an experiment performed on rubidium atoms contained in a …

This book provides a throrough introduction to the interaction of atoms and atomic ions with
optical and magnetic fields. The author places particular emphasis on the wealth of …

Self-rotation (SR) of elliptically polarized light resonant with atoms in a collision-free vapor is
investigated experimentally and theoretically. Results of density matrix calculations are …

An experiment on nonlinear laser spectroscopy and magneto-optics at the Advanced
Undergraduate Laboratory at Berkeley is described. The experiment consists of three parts …

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 …

Possibilities of precision weak-interaction measurements in relativistic hydrogenic ions are
considered. It is shown that using high-energy ion storage rings (RHIC, SPS, and LHC), and …

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 …

We give a density-matrix account of an atom in a dilute vapor which is subject to a magnetic
field and through which is propagating plane-polarized monochromatic light with frequency …
