Laser frequency locking based on Rydberg electromagnetically induced transparency |
(a) Schematic of the experimental setup. The 510-nm coupling laser, counter-propagates with the probe laser, 852 nm, through a cesium vapor cell. The probe beam, modulated using a function generator (FG) with the modulation frequency of 1 kHz, is detected using a photodiode (PD) resulting in a modulated EIT signal. The error signal, demodulated EIT signal produced using a lock-in amplifier, is fed back to the controller of the coupling laser through PID and used to lock the coupling laser frequency to Rydberg transition. (b) The energy levels, the ground state 6S1/2 ( |
