A Rydberg Atom Electric Field Sensor
Abstract
The overarching goal of this work was to demonstrate the advantages and possibilities of Rydberg atom-based sensors for radio-frequency electric fields. By exploiting the exaggerated and tunable properties of highly excited Rydberg atoms and Rydberg atom electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), we were able to show that Rydberg atoms can be used as absolute, self-calibrated sensors for radio-frequency electric fields in the 1-1000 GHz regime.
