Two-way interconversion of millimeter-wave and optical fields in Rydberg gases

Martin Kiffner, Amir Feizpour, Krzysztof T. Kaczmarek +2

We show that cold Rydberg gases enable an efficient six-wave mixing process where terahertz or microwave fields are coherently converted into optical fields and vice versa. This pr…
