Measuring the field strength of an electromagnetic wave based on atomic quantum mechanics is expected to be an innovative method to realize stable and reliable measurements. However, the major issue of atomic measurements is that the measurable frequency is limited to the resonant frequency of atoms. Therefore, in this paper, we demonstrate the measurement at arbitrary frequencies using the Zeeman effect in a static magnetic field. A cesium vapor cell is placed in a static magnetic field of approximately 40 mT, which causes the resonant frequency of the cesium atom to shift from 9.2 to 8.2 GHz. In addition, the Rabi frequency due to the interaction between cesium atoms and microwaves is measured at the frequency of 8.2 GHz in this experiment.
