The population of Rydberg states is typically determined by selective field ionization (SFI), which destroys the sample of Rydberg atoms. We have investigated an essentially non-destructive method to probe the excitation of single Rydberg states by time resolved optical absorption measurements without the use of SFI. Numerical predictions for the time-dependent transmission signal under the conditions for electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) are compared to experimental data.
