We present a detailed spectroscopic investigation of a thermal $^{87}$Rb atomic vapour in a magnetic field of 1.5~T in the Voigt geometry. We fit experimental spectra for all Stokes parameters with our theoretical model textit{ElecSus} and find very good quantitative agreement, with RMS errors of $sim 1.5$% in all cases. We extract the magnetic field strength and the angle between the polarisation of the light and the magnetic field from the atomic signal, and we measure the birefringence effects of the cell windows on the optical rotation signals. This allows us to carry out precise measurements at a high field strength and arbitrary geometries, allowing further development of possible areas of application for atomic magnetometers.

We use a magnetometer probe based on the Zeeman shift of the rubidium resonant optical transition to explore the atomic magnetic response for a wide range of field values. We record optical spectra for fields from few tesla up to 60 tesla, the limit of the coil producing the magnetic field. The atomic absorption is detected by the fluorescence emissions from a very small region with a submillimiter size. We investigate a wide range of magnetic interactions from the hyperfine Paschen-Back regime to the fine one, and the transitions between them. The magnetic field measurement is based on the rubidium absorption itself. The rubidium spectroscopic constants were previously measured with high precision, except the excited state Lande $g$-factor that we derive from the position of the absorption lines in the transition to the fine Paschen-Back regime. Our spectroscopic investigation, even if limited by the Doppler broadening of the absorption lines, measures the field with a 20 ppm uncertainty at the explored high magnetic fields. Its accuracy is limited to 75 ppm by the excited state Lande $g$-factor determination.
The electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) observations in two $Lambda$-systems of $^{87}Rb$ atom, $|5^{2}S_{1/2} F=1rangle rightarrow |5^{2}P_{3/2} F=1rangle leftarrow |5^{2}S_{1/2} F=2rangle$ and $|5^{2}S_{1/2} F=1rangle rightarrow |5^{2}P_ {3/2} F=2rangle leftarrow |5^{2}S_{1/2} F=2rangle$, have been investigated in detail and the results are found consistent with our proposed theoretical models. The second $Lambda$-system provides EIT signal with higher magnitude than the first system, both in absence and in presence of an applied magnetic field. The observed steeper slope of the EIT signal in presence of the magnetic field can enable one to achieve tight frequency locking of lasers using these EIT signals.
We study the hyperfine spectrum of atoms of $^{87}$Rb dressed by a radio-frequency field, and present experimental results in three different situations: freely falling atoms, atoms trapped in an optical dipole trap and atoms in an adiabatic radio-fr equency dressed shell trap. In all cases, we observe several resonant side bands spaced (in frequency) at intervals equal to the dressing frequency, corresponding to transitions enabled by the dressing field. We theoretically explain the main features of the microwave spectrum, using a semi-classical model in the low field limit and the Rotating Wave Approximation for alkali-like species in general and $^{87}$Rb atoms in particular. As a proof of concept, we demonstrate how the spectral signal of a dressed atomic ensemble enables an accurate determination of the dressing configuration and the probing microwave field.
We demonstrate near-complete cancellation of the differential light shift of a two-photon magnetic-field-insensitive microwave hyperfine (clock) transition in $^{87}$Rb atoms trapped in an optical lattice. Up to $95(2)%$ of the differential light shi ft is canceled while maintaining magnetic-field insensitivity. This technique should have applications in quantum information and frequency metrology.

In this paper we discuss in detail an experimental scheme to test the universality of free fall (UFF) with a differential $^{87}$Rb / $^{85}$Rb atom interferometer applicable for extended free fall of several seconds in the frame of the STE-QUEST mis sion. This analysis focuses on suppression of noise and error sources which would limit the accuracy of a violation measurement. We show that the choice of atomic species and the correctly matched parameters of the interferometer sequence are of utmost importance to suppress leading order phase shifts. In conclusion we will show the expected performance of $2$ parts in $10^{15}$ of such an interferometer for a test of the UFF.
