Abstract
Highly excited states of alkali atoms are a powerful tool for making SI-traceable electric field measurements without the need for an external reference. However, the calibration of these measurements suffers from ambiguity in which transition dipole moment to use. In this paper, we address this point, taking into account contributions from individual magnetic hyperfine mF states. We also discuss measurement schemes that simplify this calibration by isolating angular momentum pathways.
