60 results about "Rydberg state" patented technology

The Rydberg states of an atom or molecule are electronically excited states with energies that follow the Rydberg formula as they converge on an ionic state with an ionization energy. Although the Rydberg formula was developed to describe atomic energy levels, it has been used to describe many other systems that have electronic structure roughly similar to atomic hydrogen. In general, at sufficiently high principal quantum numbers, an excited electron - ionic core system will have the general character of a hydrogenic system and the energy levels will follow the Rydberg formula. Rydberg states have energies converging on the energy of the ion. The ionization energy threshold is the energy required to completely liberate an electron from the ionic core of an atom or molecule. In practice, a Rydberg wave packet is created by a laser pulse on a hydrogenic atom and thus populates a superposition of Rydberg states. Modern investigations using pump-probe experiments show molecular pathways – e.g. dissociation of (NO)₂ – via these special states.

A method for reducing noise in electromagnetic measurements of rydberg atoms

This invention discloses a noise reduction method for electromagnetic measurements of Rydberg atoms. This method constructs a 509nm coupled optical closed-loop circulation system comprising a polarization beam splitter, a half-wave plate, and a high-reflection mirror. This enables multiple reciprocating propagations of the laser within the atomic gas chamber. Utilizing the optical path circulation mechanism, the coupling strength between light and atoms is significantly improved without increasing the laser source power, thus greatly enhancing the excitation efficiency of Rydberg states. Simultaneously, this structure allows the intermediate frequency carrier signal to linearly and coherently superimpose with the number of cycles, while the laser background noise accumulates incoherently only according to a square root law, thereby significantly improving the measurement signal-to-noise ratio. This invention solves the problems of low excitation efficiency and difficulty in eliminating laser background noise in existing single-path optical systems, providing a new solution with high excitation efficiency and high signal-to-noise ratio for high-sensitivity microwave electric field measurements.
