Abstract
We demonstrate a moveable Rydberg atom based radio frequency (RF) electric (E) field probe. The technique is based on electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT) and Autler-Townes splitting. Two fibers attached to an 10mm cube Cs vapor cell are used to couple counter- propagating probe and coupling lasers through the cell. This all-dielectric fiber-coupled sensor can be moved from the optics table to locations more suitable for RF (GHz to sub-THz) E- field measurements and calibrations.Citation
