Embedding a Rydberg Atom-Based Sensor into an Antenna for Phase and Amplitude Detection of Radio Frequency Fields and Modulated Signals

October 22, 2019
Author(s)
Christopher L. Holloway, Matthew T. Simons, Abdulaziz H. Haddab, Joshua A. Gordon, David R. Novotny
We demonstrate a Rydberg atom-based sensor embedded in a parallel-plate waveguide (PPWG) for amplitude and phase detection of a radio-frequency (RF) electric field. This embedded atomic sensor is also capable of receiving modulated communications signals

Applications with a Rydberg Atom-based Radio Frequency Antenna/Receiver

September 2, 2019
Author(s)
Matthew T. Simons, Abdulaziz H. Haddab, Joshua A. Gordon, Christopher L. Holloway
We discuss several recent extensions of quantum radio frequency (RF) electric field sensors to antenna/receiver applications. These Rydberg atom-based sensors have been previously studied for SI-traceable RF field measurements. We demonstrate the reception

Detecting and Receiving Phase-Modulated Signals With a Rydberg Atom-Based Receiver

September 2, 2019
Author(s)
Christopher L. Holloway, Matthew T. Simons, Joshua A. Gordon, David R. Novotny
Recently, we introduced a Rydberg-atom based mixer capable of detecting and measuring of the phase of a radio-frequency field through the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and Autler-Townes (AT) effect. The ability to measure phase with this

A Rydberg Atom-Based Mixer: Measuring the Phase of a Radio Frequency Wave

Christopher L. Holloway, Matthew T. Simons, Abdulaziz H. Haddab, Joshua A. Gordon
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, there has been less success in using Rydberg atoms for the

Rydberg Atom-based RF Power Measurements

November 4, 2018
Author(s)
Matthew T. Simons, Marcus D. Kautz, Abdulaziz H. Haddab, Joshua A. Gordon, Christopher L. Holloway, Thomas P. Crowley
The power transmitted through a waveguide was determined using in-situ atom-based electric field measurements. The field distribution in the waveguide was measured using Rydberg atoms to find the maximum field, which was used to determine the power. For a

Using Radiation Pressure to Develop a Radio-Frequency Power Measurement Technique Traceable to the Redefined SI

October 15, 2018
Author(s)
Christopher L. Holloway, Matthew T. Simons, David R. Novotny, John H. Lehman, Paul A. Williams, Gordon A. Shaw
We discuss a power measurement technique traceable to the International System of Units based on radiation pressure (or radiation force) carried by an electromagnetic wave. A measurement of radiation pressure offers the possibility for a power measurement

Uncertainties in Rydberg Atom-based RF E-field Measurements

October 8, 2018
Author(s)
Matthew T. Simons, Marcus D. Kautz, Joshua A. Gordon, Christopher L. Holloway
A new atom-based electric (E) field measurement approach (using Rydberg atoms) is being investigated by several groups around the world as a means to develop a new SI-traceable RF E- field standard. For this technique to be useful it is important to

MEMS non-absorbing electromagnetic power sensor employing the effect of radiation pressure

September 8, 2018
Author(s)
Ivan Ryger, Aly Artusio-Glimpse, Paul A. Williams, Gordon A. Shaw, Matt Simons, Christopher L. Holloway, John H. Lehman
We demonstrate a compact electromagnetic power sensor based on force effects of electromagnetic radiation onto a highly reflective mirror surface. Unlike the conventional power measurement approach, the photons are not absorbed and can be further used in

Development and Applications of a Fiber-Coupled Atom-Based Electric Field Probe

August 26, 2018
Author(s)
Christopher L. Holloway, Matt Simons, Josh Gordon
We are developing a fundamentally new atom-based approach for electric (E) field measurements. This new approach will lead to a self-calibrated, SI traceable, E-field measurement, and has the capability to perform measurements on a fine spatial resolution

High-resolution near-field imaging and far-fieldantenna measurements with atomic sensors

August 26, 2018
Author(s)
Christopher L. Holloway, Matt Simons, Dave Anderson, Georg Raithel
—Measurements of radio-frequency (RF) electric fields using atomic sensors based on quantum-optical spectroscopy of Rydberg states in vapors has garnered significant interest in recent years for the establishment of atomic standards for RF electric fields
