摘要/Abstract

摘要： We utilize an electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) of a three-level cascade system involving Rydberg state in a room-temperature cell, formed with a cesium 6S_1/2-6P_3/2-66S_1/2 scheme, to investigate the Autler-Townes (AT) splitting resulting from a 15.21-GHz radio-frequency (RF) field that couples the|66S_1/2>→|65P_1/2> Rydberg transition. The radio-frequency electric field induced AT splitting, γ_AT, is defined as the peak-to-peak distance of an EIT-AT spectrum. The dependence of AT splitting γ_AT on the probe and coupling Rabi frequency, Ω_p and Ω_c, is investigated. It is found that the EIT-AT splitting strongly depends on the EIT linewidth that is related to the probe and coupling Rabi frequency in a weak RF-field regime. Using a narrow linewidth EIT spectrum would decrease the uncertainty of the RF field measurements. This work provides new experimental evidence for the theoretical framework in[J. Appl. Phys. 121, 233106 (2017)].
