Microwave spectroscopy assisted by electromagnetically induced transparency near natural Förster resonance on Rubidium

In this work, we precisely measure the transition energies between the Rydberg state nD5/2 to the nearby Rydberg states (n+2)P3/2, (n−2)F7/2 in 85Rb for the range 41≤n≤46. This was done by carrying out microwave spectroscopy via electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a room temperature va...

Description
Summary:In this work, we precisely measure the transition energies between the Rydberg state nD5/2 to the nearby Rydberg states (n+2)P3/2, (n−2)F7/2 in 85Rb for the range 41≤n≤46. This was done by carrying out microwave spectroscopy via electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a room temperature vapor reference cell of rubidium, which is similar to the experimental approach followed by Li et al., (2021). This range is interesting because there is a quasi Förster resonance between the atomic pair 43D5/2+43D5/2 and 45P3/2+41F7/2. We compared the obtained results with numerically calculated transition energies based on previously tabulated quantum defect numbers by various research groups using both hot and ultra-cold atomic samples. Our data are more consistent with measurements made within ultra-cold atomic systems (Li et al., 2003; Han et al., 2006).
