Abstract The measurement of Rydberg atoms in low-frequency electric fields is hindered due to the shielding effect of the vapor cell against low-frequency electric fields. This study analyzes the electric field shielding effect of Vapor Cell in Rydberg atom electric field sensors, which arises primarily from the polarization charges generated in dielectric materials under electric field influence, as well as the reduced surface resistivity caused by the adsorption of alkali metal atoms on the inner surfaces of the vapor cell. To investigate the electric field shielding resulting from the dielectric materials, we utilized finite element simulation software for analysis and normalized the influencing factors. For the shielding associated with reduced surface resistivity, we measured the electric field transmission coefficients of SiO2 in the 0–60 MHz range using the Stark effect of Rydberg atoms. Additionally, we combined finite element simulations with molecular dynamics analysis software to quantitatively and qualitatively assess the properties of the SiO2 surface after cesium atom adsorption. Building on this foundation, we conducted a simulation analysis of vapor cell made from CaF2. Our results indicate that after cesium atom adsorption, CaF2 retains excellent insulating properties, with a surface resistivity exceeding 1 × 1012 Ω/sq, making it suitable for electric field measurements in the tens of Hz range. Furthermore, we examined the influence of laser transmittance in Vapor Cell on the peak of electromagnetically induced transparency. We measured the laser transmittance of SiO2 and Al2O3 vapor cells and compared these values to the calculated laser transmittance of CaF2. The results revealed that CaF2 exhibits slightly higher laser transmittance than SiO2, demonstrating favorable optical characteristics for use in optical systems. In summary, this research provides significant theoretical insights and experimental support for enhancing the performance of Rydberg atom electric field sensors.

Radio-frequency-modulated Rydberg states in a vapor cell

Stephanie Miller, David Alexander Anderson, Georg A. Raithel

We measure strong radio-frequency (RF) electric fields using rubidium Rydberg atoms prepared in a room-temperature vapor cell as field sensors. Electromagnetically induced transparency is employed as an optical readout. We RF-modulate the and Rydberg states with 50 and 100 MHz fields, respectively. For weak to moderate RF fields, the Rydberg levels become Stark-shifted, and sidebands appear at even multiples of the driving frequency. In high fields, the adjacent hydrogenic manifold begins to intersect the shifted levels, providing rich spectroscopic structure suitable for precision field measurements. A quantitative description of strong-field level modulation and mixing of S and D states with hydrogenic states is provided by Floquet theory. Additionally, we estimate the shielding of DC electric fields in the interior of the glass vapor cell.
