Abstract

Atom-based sensors have generated a lot of attention in the past several years because of their many possible advantages over other conventional technologies. NIST and other groups have made great progress in the development of Rydberg atom-based radio-frequency (RF) E-field sensors/receivers. These sensors have the capability of measuring amplitude, polarization, and phase of the RF field. As such, various applications are beginning to emerge: SI-traceable E-field probes, power-sensors, voltage standards, receivers for communication signals (AM/FM modulated and digital phase modulation signals), and even recording musical instruments. In fact, this new atom-based technology has allowed for interesting and unforeseen applications. In this talk, I will summarize this work and discuss various applications.
