We have performed saturated absorption spectroscopy on the cesium D 2 line in 3 T and 7 T magnetic fields. By means of sideband spectroscopy on the extreme angular momentum states we have measured the linear magnetic frequency shift of the transition to be γ 1 = 13 . 994301(11) GHz/T. This corresponds to an optical magnetic field measurement of better than 1 ppm accuracy. From this value we can calculate the fine structure Land´e g-factor g J (cid:0) 6 2 P 3 / 2 (cid:1) = 1 . 334 087 49(52). This is consistent with the previous best measurement, and improves the accuracy by more than two orders of magnitude. We have also measured, for the first time ever, the quadratic diamagnetic shift as γ 2 = 0 . 4644(35) MHz / T 2 . Our work opens up the field of accurate high field optical magnetometry using atomic cesium. These high accuracy measurements also allow for testing of advanced atomic structure models, as our results are incompatible with the Russel-Saunders coupling value, and the hydrogen-constant-core-model value, by 31 and 7 standard deviations respectively.
