Measurement of dc and ac Electric Fields inside an Atomic Vapor Cell with Wall-Integrated Electrodes

We present and characterize a Rb atomic vapor cell with silicon-ring electrodes embedded between borosilicate glass tubes. The ring can be externally connectorized for application of electric fields to the inside cell. An atom-based, all-optical, laser-spectroscopic field-sensing method is employed measure in Here, Stark effect electric-field-sensitive rubidium Rydberg atoms exploited dc approximately $5$ V/cm, relative uncertainty 10%. Measurement results are compared field calculations, allowing us quantify attenuation due free surface charges further propagation microwave into cell, using Autler-Townes splitting levels as probe. Results obtained range powers polarization angles cell's electrodes. compare microwave-field calculations.
