• Abstract: We innovatively propose a method to improve the performance of Rydberg atom sensors based on the repetition frequency of pulsed lasers, which is verified in experiments. Rydberg atoms excited by pulsed lasers are influenced significantly by the repetition frequency of the pulsed laser on the Rydberg state population. As the number of Rydberg atoms increases, the measurement sensitivity of the sensor to external fields also increases, directly enhancing the performance of the sensor. This paper investigates the response of the sensor to the same electric field when the repetition frequency of the pulsed laser is at the MHz level, with a focus on its gain effects on the broadcast communication frequency bands of 66MHz and 88MHz. This study validates the unique advantages of pulsed light for Rydberg atom excitation, improving the effective detection of weak signals and providing a new approach for fabricating more sensitive atomic sensors.

  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.

• Spatiotemporal Multiplexed Rydberg Receiver [0.0]
  Rydberg states of alkali atoms have large electric dipole moments allowing them to be used as sensitive, wideband, electric field sensors. These sensors use electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) to measure incident electric fields. Previous studies have predicted that this EIT relaxation rate causes a performance roll-off in EIT-based sensors beginning at a less than 10 MHz RF data symbol rate. We propose an architecture for increasing the response speed of Rydberg sensors to greater than 100 MHz, throughtemporal-temporal multiplexing (STM) of the probe laser.

  We model the 4-level and 5-level atomic system and compare how the transmission of the probe changes with different powers of the lasers used and strengths of the RF field. We find that the three-photon system boasts much narrower line widths compared to the conventional two-photon EIT. In addition to this, we calculate the expected sensitivity for the two-photon Rydberg sensor and find that the best achievable sensitivity is over an order of magnitude better than the current measured values of 5 uV/m/Hz.
