Abstract

The nonlinear resonance Faraday effect is studied under the condition of coherent population trapping in 87Rb vapor at the D 1-line F=2→F′=1 transition. The influence of transverse magnetic fields on the nonlinear optical Faraday rotation is studied. For the transverse fields perpendicular to the electromagnetic-wave polarization, a simple theoretical model is proposed, which is in good agreement with experimental data. The optimal intensity providing the maximum sensitivity is found based on the results obtained. The influence of working-level depletion on the parameters of Faraday rotation in open systems is studied experimentally and theoretically. The system was closed in the experiment by using an additional laser to increase the sensitivity and extend the dynamic range of measured fields. The importance of compensating for the depletion in the presence of spurious magnetic fields is shown; in particular, the sensitivity was enhanced by a factor of 50 in experiments with a buffer gas.
