Abstract

We present both a theoretical and experimental study of the magneto-optical spectra induced with intensity-modulated resonant laser light that synchronously pumps and detects the metastable $^{4}\mathrm{He}$ atoms in the presence of a quasistatic magnetic field. We extend previous work and derive complete analytical expressions for the resonance signals by taking into account arbitrary magnetic-field directions and arbitrary light polarizations. The analytical results are derived by solving the Liouville equation using the irreducible tensor formalism on the assumption of low light power. We discuss the potential application of the derived analytical results in constructing and optimizing a dead-zone-free all-optical atomic magnetometer.
