  1. rot Bmax1.4 Gs eff1.3 Hz -40 -20 20 40 Magnetic Field, Gs Nonlinear Optical Rotation MagnetometryUniversity of California, Berkeley Scientific Issues: Assessment of ultimate attainable sensitivity in atomic magnetometry, 3-axis low-field magnetometry, control and characterization of ultra-low magnetic field environment, fundamental physics applications Objectives: Proof-of-principle demonstration of precision nonlinear optical rotation magnetometry with sensitivity ~10 pGs(Hz)-1/2, investigation of its ultimate performance limits • Approach: • Use large enhancement of optical rotation due to NLOR • Combine the eight orders of magn. rotation enhancement demonstrated in this work withprecision laser spectropolarimetrydeveloped for atomic parity violation experiments • Accomplishments: • Observation of ultra-narrow effective widths (1.3 Hz) in magneto-optics • Demonstration of an 8 orders of magnitude rotation enhancement compared to linear magneto-optics • Realization of a prototype low-field 3-axis magnetometer • Impact: • Demonstration of a new method to prepare, preserve and probe long-lived atomic Zeeman coherence (alignment) • Potential applications in related research involving EIT, coherent dark resonances, phaseonium; in experiments on P, T-violation
