Half-Cycle Microwave Excitation of Rubidium Rydberg Atoms

G. M. Lankhuijzen, Lambertus D. Noordam

Excitation from $\mathrm{ns}$ , $\mathrm{np}$ , and $\mathrm{nd}$ Rydberg states of rubidium to the adjacent manifolds by electrical pulses of 140 and 9 ns duration up to 200 V/cm is studied. These pulses correspond to half cycles of microwave fields of 2.6 GHz and 40 MHz. The observed population transfer (up to 40%) is not monotonically increasing with the field strength. For the 140 ps pulse local minima are found due to the absence of avoided crossings of appropriate size at the peak of the pulse. For the long pulses Stueckelberg oscillations are observed in the transfer yield.Excitation from $\mathrm{ns}$, $\mathrm{np}$, and $\mathrm{nd}$ Rydberg states of rubidium to the adjacent manifolds by electrical pulses of 140 and 9 ns duration up to 200 V/cm is studied.

Stueckelberg oscillations in the multiphoton excitation of helium Rydberg atoms: Observation with a pulse of coherent field and suppression by additive noise

Suzanne Yoakum, Leszek Sirko, P. M. Koch

We observe and reproduce theoretically, Stueckelberg oscillations in the microwave excitation of helium (n=28) $^{3}\mathrm{S}$ Rydberg atoms. They are produced by the coherent evolution along two isolated Floquet potential curves as the microwave electric field amplitude varies along a half-sine-wave pulse shape. The measured visibility and separation of the oscillations depends sensitively on the Floquet structure, on the atomic beam velocity, and particularly on additive noise, which smears and broadens the pattern.We observe and reproduce theoretically, Stueckelberg oscillations in the microwave excitation of helium (n=28) $^{3}\mathrm{S}$ Rydberg atoms.
