Abstract

Nonlinear magneto-optical rotation is a sensitive technique for measuring magnetic fields. Here, the shot-noise-limited magnetometric sensitivity at high light power is analysed for optically thick media. Such media have been the subject of recent experimental and theoretical investigations.
