Abstract

The 3.51 μm 3He-136Xe laser shows promise for applications to mean field magnetometry. A careful analysis of the locking mechanisms is performed and experimentally verified. The high gain of the transition and the high mass of the 136Xe atom permits one to increase the magnetometer scale factor by a factor of 3 compared with 20Ne. Moreover, in the general case, the width of the locking region is divided by the same factor.
