Abstract

We present the results of an experimental study of nonlinear magneto-optical rotation in a buffer-gas-free uncoated Cs cell on hyperfine transitions <i>F_g</i> = 3 → <i>F_e</i> = 2, 3, 4 of the D₂ line at high laser irradiance (up to 40 mW/cm²). The measurements were done in a forward scattering configuration, with simultaneous linear scanning of laser frequency and magnetic field at different temporal rates. The latter revealed, in a single measurement, the dependences of maximum nonlinear Faraday signal and the corresponding <i>B</i>-field on the laser frequency within the Doppler profile.
