Phys. Rev. A 59, 4836–4839 (1999)Observation of Larmor spin precession of laser-cooled Rb atoms via paramagnetic Faraday rotationReceived 3 August 1998; revised 21 December 1998; published in the issue dated June 1999 We have observed Larmor spin precession in the ground state of laser-cooled 85Rb atoms through paramagnetic Faraday rotation. We have been able to obtain a precision of 18pT in the determination of the applied magnetic field, which proves the usefulness of laser-cooled atoms as an atomic magnetometer. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
