Compact Blackbody Radiation Atomic Sensor: Measuring Temperature using Optically Excited Atoms in Vapor Cells
David S. La Mantia, Mingxin Lei, Nikunjkumar Prajapati +6
We demonstrate a blackbody radiation thermometer based on optically excited rubidium atoms in a vapor cell. The temperature measurement is fast, with statistical uncertainty as low…
Primary quantum thermometry of mm-wave blackbody radiation via induced state transfer in Rydberg states of cold atoms
Noah Schlossberger, Andrew P. Rotunno, Stephen P. Eckel +14
Rydberg states of alkali atoms are highly sensitive to electromagnetic radiation in the GHz-to-THz regime because their transitions have large electric dipole moments. Consequently…
Revisiting collisional broadening of Rb Rydberg levels: conclusions for vapor cell manufacture
Mingxin Lei, Stephen P. Eckel, Eric B. Norrgard +4
Electrometry based on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in alkali Rydberg vapor cells may suffer reduced sensitivity due to spurious line broadening effects, caused by…
