Realization of a Laser Cooled Microwave Power Standard (conference digest)
arXiv:physics/0504066 · doi:10.1109/CPEM.2002.1034786
Abstract
We demonstrate the feasibility of a novel microwave power standard based on the electromagnetic interaction with cold atoms. Under the effect of the radiation, the internal state populations will undergo a Rabi oscillation. The measurement of its frequency will allow the determination of the electromagnetic field strength.
