Mid-infrared laser magnetic resonance using the Faraday and Voigt effects for sensitive detection

Abstract
Rotation of the linear polarization in a longitudinal (Faraday effect) and a transverse (Voigt effect) magnetic field can be used to increase the sensitivity of laser magnetic resonance spectrometers. Theoretical background and experimental results for these new techniques are presented. The sensitivity and content of information are discussed for the various LMR methods.
