摘要
A quasimirrorless laser is shown to exhibit large interferences between macroscopic quantum states when submitted to weak external magnetic fields. Such a device is shown to have potentialities as a high signal-to-noise ratio vectorial magnetometer, especially because of its sensitivity to the mean value of the longitudinal magnetic field and its fast response to magnetic field variations. The behavior of the laser magnetometer is in good agreement with theory.
