Suspended thin-film lithium niobate modulator for broadband mid-infrared light modulation and frequency comb generation

Abstract The mid-infrared (MIR) spectral regime is central to applications including remote sensing, precision spectroscopy, higher harmonic generation, and free-space optical communication. However, coherent and broadband MIR modulation remains challenging owing to high optical...

Electromagnetically induced transparency and population repump readout of Rydberg states of Cs atoms in a J-scheme

Rydberg atom electrometry offers traceable electric field measurements over many decades of radio frequencies in a single device. Miniaturization of these sensors is primarily limited by the requirements of the lasers used. Here, we demonstrate a three-photon sensing scheme using...
