Laser-detected magnetic resonance induced by radio-frequency two-photon processes

We have theoretically and experimentally investigated the laser-detected magnetic resonance induced by radio-frequency two-photon processes in F-g = 4 of D-1 line of cesium atoms. The effective Hamiltonian for the interaction between the two radio-frequency magnetic fields and sublevels at the ground state of F-g = 4 is derived. By appropriately selecting the frequencies of the two radio-frequency fields, the Raman two-photon process and the cascade two-photon process can occur, which induce the magnetic resonance detected through laser transmission spectra. The theoretical calculation results fit well with the experimental data. Our results maybe apply for measuring the high bandwidth radio-frequency magnetic fields in space and studying the magnetic-induction tomography.
