Optical spectral features and electric field inversion method for Rydberg atoms under ultra-low frequency electric field

The quantum measurement of the microwave electric field based on Rydberg atoms developed in recent years has shown promise for enhancing accuracy, sensitivity and stability. However, the study of ultra-low frequency electric field measurements in power systems is still in its early stages, presenting new challenges for Rydberg-based measurement techniques. In this work, a ladder-type two-photon three-level structure of Cs atoms is selected, and the corresponding experimental system is constructed. Two kinds of laser control schemes, which are referred to as mismatch and match measurement schemes, are then proposed, and the quantum effect’s optical spectrum is obtained by using the two measurement schemes. After these measured spectral properties are compared, the match measurement scheme is chosen for real-time measurement of ultra-low frequency electric fields. Additionally, dynamic models of the interactions among the laser field, ultra-low frequency electric field and atoms are derived, on the basis of which theoretical simulations are being conducted to study the effects of the input parameters of the electric field and laser power on the optical spectrum. On the basis of the optical spectral features, an inversion method for the excitation electric field in real time is proposed, and its effectiveness is demonstrated.

Electric field sensing via Rydberg electromagnetically induced transparency using Zeeman and Stark effects

Y. C. Chen, Shao-Cheng Fang, Hsuan-Jui Su +1 more

Rydberg-assisted atomic electrometry with thermal vapors offers a promising approach for detecting external electric fields. However, this technique presents significant challenges for measuring low frequencies due to the effects of metal-alkali atoms adsorbed on the interior surface of the vacuum chamber. In this work, we apply high-contrast Rydberg electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) spectroscopy to systematically investigate these effects, including the influence of laser power and electric field strength. We demonstrate the ability to measure electric field frequencies ranging from 10 Hz to 1 MHz. Additionally, this study identifies a fundamental limit for data capacity in such measurements. Furthermore, we propose a method for precise Stark shift measurements by locking the coupling laser to Zeeman-split Rydberg EIT peaks. Using the Zeeman shift in a reference cell as a stable frequency reference, we are able to track Stark-induced shifts in a science cell and confirm excellent agreement with theoretical predictions. These results provide valuable insights for future precision measurement techniques and field sensing applications based on Rydberg atom systems.

Analysis of the spectral characteristics and influencing factors of Rydberg atom EIT

Fu-Li Yang, Yingying Cheng

High-precision Rydberg atom EIT spectroscopy has significant application value in studying the interactions between Rydberg atoms, the energy level structure of Rydberg atoms, and the precise measurement of electric fields. Therefore, it is of great importance to study the parameters influencing atomic EIT spectroscopy. In this paper, a theoretical model for the generation of a two-photon three-level EIT spectrum is established, and the influence of the coupling light's Rabi frequency and corresponding power on the EIT spectrum is theoretically explored. The changes in the EIT spectrum's amplitude and FWHM caused by variations in the coupling light power are experimentally verified. Furthermore, the effect of the overlap between the probe light and the coupling light in the atomic vapor cell on the EIT spectrum is investigated. The results show that as the laser power increases, the amplitude of the EIT spectrum first increases and then decreases, while the FWHM increases. The optimal coupling light laser power of 35 mW is determined using the quality factor. A decrease in the overlap of the two lasers leads to a reduction in the EIT spectrum's amplitude. This study provides a reference for selecting coupling light parameters and improving the accuracy of electric field measurements using Rydberg atoms.
