Rydberg atoms have proven to be an excellent sensitive probe to electromagnetic fields. Here, we present our ongoing development of a Rydberg atom-detector using a four atomic level scheme based on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a hot atomic vapour. This detector is used to characterize different types of terahertz (THz) source emitters such as superconductors emitters and quantum cascade lasers.
Besides, THz induced single atom transitions and subsequent single atom counting in an ultracold atomic cloud, making the detector suitable for the measurement of photon statistics of the THz emitters.
This detector will enhance the technological development of new THz sources and detectors.
