Abstract summary: This letter documents a series of experiments with Rydberg atomic sensors to collect and process waveforms from the automated identification system (AIS) used in maritime navigation in the Very High Frequency (VHF) band. We show the results from a new method called High Angular Momentum Matching Excited Raman (HAMMER), which enhances low frequency detection and exhibits superior sensitivity compared to the traditional AC Stark effect.

Abstract: Recent advances in Rydberg atom electrometry detail promising applications in radio frequency (RF) communications. Presently, most applications use carrier frequencies greater than 1~GHz where resonant Autler-Townes splitting provides the highest sensitivity. This letter documents a series of experiments with Rydberg atomic sensors to collect and process waveforms from the automated identification system (AIS) used in maritime navigation in the Very High Frequency (VHF) band. Detection in this band is difficult with conventional resonant Autler-Townes based Rydberg sensing and requires a new approach. We show the results from a new method called High Angular Momentum Matching Excited Raman (HAMMER), which enhances low frequency detection and exhibits superior sensitivity compared to the traditional AC Stark effect. From measurements of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in rubidium and cesium vapor cells, we show the relationship between incident electric field strength and observed signal-to-noise ratio and find that the sensitivity of the HAMMER scheme in rubidium achieved an equivalent single VHF tone sensitivity of $\mathrm{100~\mu V/m/\sqrt{Hz}}$. With these results, we estimate the usable range of the atomic vapor cell antenna for AIS waveforms given current technology and detection techniques.

Enhanced Sensitivity in Rydberg Atom Electric Field Sensors through Autler-Townes Effect and Two-Photon Absorption: A Theoretical Analysis Using Many-Mode Floquet Theory [10.726779205155257]
We study the sensitivity of a Rydberg atom electric field sensor with a specific focus on the minimum detectable field (MDF) as a key metric. To enhance the sensor's sensitivity when the frequency of the signal electric field deviates from resonance frequencies between Rydberg states, we propose incorporating an extra coupling electric field. These insights hold promising implications for the development of more robust and versatile electric field sensing devices.
