Abstract
Nonlinear magneto-optical rotation (NMOR), an all-optical technique now finding its use in sensitive magnetometry, is light-intensity-dependent rotation of the polarization plane of linearly polarized light upon its propagation through a medium placed in a magnetic field. For an intense light beam, the dependence of the NMOR angle on the magnetic field can be very strong, which allows sensitivity reaching 3·10−16 T Hz−1/2 [1]. This sensitivity exceeds that obtained with the Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs). Further advantages of the all-optical approach are low cost and technical simplicity.
