title: Magnetic field imaging with atomic Rb vapor.
abstract: We demonstrate the possibility of dynamic imaging of magnetic fields using electromagnetically induced transparency in an atomic gas. As an experimental demonstration we employ an atomic Rb gas confined in a glass cell to image the transverse magnetic field created by a long straight wire. In this arrangement, which clearly reveals the essential effect, the field of view is about 2 x 2 mm(2) and the field detection uncertainty is 0.14 mG per 10 microm x 10 microm image pixel.
