Atomic Physics 2009-11-13 v2 Optics

Abstract

We report on an all-optical magnetometric technique based on nonlinear magneto-optical rotation with amplitude-modulated light. The method enables sensitive magnetic-field measurements in a broad dynamic range. We demonstrate the sensitivity of 4.3×1094.3\times10^{-9} G/Hz\sqrt{\text{Hz}} at 10 mG and the magnetic field tracking in a range of 40 mG. The fundamental limits of the method sensitivity and factors determining current performance of the magnetometer are discussed.
