Abstract
We present a convenient and reliable method for measuring the number density of the alkali metal vapor. The method is based on the diamagnetic Faraday rotation of the plane of polarization of nearly resonant light by the alkali metal vapor, and it is suitable for optically thick vapor where the conventional integrated absorption technique fails.
