Abstract

We describe the basic principles underlying resonant nonlinear magneto-optical spectroscopy of alkali atoms and show how the technique can be applied for high resolution investigations of weak and strongly suppressed processes in spin coherent atomic ensembles. We illustrate this by a detailed discussion of four distinct applications, viz. the detection of small biomagnetic fields, the space and time resolved tomographic study of gas phase diffusion, the measurement of linear and quadratic Stark effects in atomic ground states and the study of (quantum) crystal field effects on solid helium-isolated atomic defect structures.
