Control of molecular ultracold plasma relaxation dynamics by mm-wave Rydberg-Rydberg transitions

Fernanda Banic Viana Martins, James S. Keller, Edward R. Grant

Resonant mm-wave fields drive $n_{0}f(2)\to (n_0\pm 1)g(2)$ transitions in a state-selected $n_{0}f(2)$ Rydberg gas of NO. This transformation produces a clear signature in t…
