Block diagram of the Rydberg atom "mixer". The Rydberg atoms separate the difference frequency (IF) from two RF signals (LO and SIG). This demodulated signal is carried in the probe laser.

Rydberg Atom Mixer and Determining Phase of Modulated Carrier Radiation

NIST Inventors
Josh Gordon , Christopher L. Holloway and Matt Simons
Rydberg atoms have been shown to be very useful in performing absolute measurements of the magnitude of a radio frequency (RF) field using electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). However, until this invention, there has been less success in using Rydberg atoms for the measurement of the

Inertial Measurement Unit and Diagnostic System

NIST Inventors
Gregory W. Vogl
An inertial measurement unit determines performance degradation of a linear axis and includes: an accelerometer that, when disposed on a motion member of the linear axis including the motion member and a base member: measures acceleration of the motion member; and provides a displacement of the

Non-contact Measuring Tool for Precision Measurement

NIST Inventors
Josh Gordon
This invention introduces a non-contact measuring tool designed for precise measurement of objects without physically touching them. It uses advanced optical and sensor technologies to capture accurate data on an object's dimensions and surface characteristics. The tool enhances measurement
