Abstract
We present a detailed spectroscopic investigation of a thermal <sup>87</sup>Rb atomic vapour in magnetic fields up to 0.4T in the Voigt geometry. We fit experimental spectra with our theoretical model <i>ElecSus</i> and find excellent quantitative agreement, with RMS errors of backsim0.3%. We extract the magnetic field strength and the angle between the polarisation of the light and the magnetic field from the atomic signal and find excellent agreement to within backsim1% with a commercial Hall probe. Finally, we present an investigation of the relative sensitivity of this technique to variations in the field strength and angle with a view to enabling atom-based high-field vector magnetometry.
