Atom-Based Vector Microwave Electrometry Using Rubidium Rydberg Atoms in a Vapor Cell
Atom-Based Vector Microwave Electrometry Using Rubidium Rydberg Atoms in a Vapor Cell
It is clearly important to pursue atomic standards for quantities like electromagnetic fields, time, length, and gravity. We have recently shown using Rydberg states that Rb atoms in a vapor cell can serve as a practical, compact standard for microwave electric field strength. Here we demonstrate for the first time …
