Approach to high-frequency, cavity-enhanced Faraday rotation in fluids

Abstract

Recent work demonstrating detection of nuclear spin magnetization via Faraday rotation in transparent fluids promises novel opportunities for magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. Unfortunately, low sensitivity is a serious concern. With this motivation in mind, we explore the use of an optical cavity to augment the Faraday rotation experienced by a linearly polarized beam traversing a sample fluid. Relying on a setup that affords reduced sample size and high-frequency modulation, we demonstrate amplification of regular (i.e., nonnuclear) Faraday rotation of order 20. Extensions of the present methodology that take into account the geometric constraints imposed by a high-field magnet may open the way to high-sensitivity, optically-detected magnetic resonance in the liquid state.
