Development of a high-power ultraviolet laser system and observation of fast coherent Rydberg excitation of ytterbium

Yuma Nakamura, Naoya Ozawa, Toshi Kusano +5

We present the development of a high-power ultraviolet laser system operating at a wavelength of 325 nm for Rydberg excitation from the ${}^3{\mathrm{P}}_2$ state of ytterbium. Utili…
