MICROWAVE SENSOR USING AUTLER-TOWNES SPLITTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240012039 titled 'MICROWAVE SENSOR USING AUTLER-TOWNES SPLITTING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a microwave sensor that measures the electric-field strength of a microwave field containing quantum particles in an ultra-high vacuum (UHV) cell. The sensor uses a probe laser beam and a coupling laser beam that intersect at a "rydberg" intersection within the UHV cell. Quantum particles within this intersection transition to a pair of rydberg states. By sweeping the frequency of the probe laser beam and analyzing the resulting frequency spectrum, the sensor can determine the frequency difference between Autler-Townes peaks. Based on this frequency difference, the electric-field strength of the microwave field within the rydberg intersection can be determined.

  • A microwave sensor measures the electric-field strength of a microwave field populated by quantum particles in a UHV cell.
  • The sensor uses a probe laser beam and a coupling laser beam that intersect at a "rydberg" intersection within the UHV cell.
  • Quantum particles within the rydberg intersection transition to a pair of rydberg states.
  • The frequency of the probe laser beam is swept to capture a frequency spectrum.
  • The frequency spectrum is analyzed to determine the frequency difference between Autler-Townes peaks.
  • The electric-field strength of the microwave field within the rydberg intersection is determined based on this frequency difference.

Original Abstract Submitted

a microwave sensor determines an electric-field strength of a microwave field populated by quantum particles in an ultra-high vacuum (uhv) cell. a probe laser beam and a coupling laser beam are directed into the uhv cell so that they are generally orthogonal to each other and intersect to define a “rydberg” intersection, so-called as the quantum particles within the rydberg intersection transition to a pair of rydberg states. the frequency of the probe laser beam is swept so that a frequency spectrum of the probe laser beam can be captured. the frequency spectrum is analyzed to determine a frequency difference between autler-townes peaks. the electric-field strength of the microwave field within the rydberg intersection is then determined based on this frequency difference.
