Data associated with the publication:
"Conductor-free optical detection of angle-of-arrival of radio-frequency waves via Rydberg atom imaging of standing waves in a glass vapor cell"
We present a method for measuring the angle-of-arrival of 40 GHz radio-frequency (RF) radiation by mapping the standing waves generated in a rectangular glass vapor cell. These standing waves have regular and well-defined structure from which we can infer the angle and sign of the wavevector of the RF. We map the field using spatially resolved light sheet spectroscopy of Rydberg states of rubidium atoms in the cell. Unlike traditional phased arrays, this detection scheme is compact and low-complexity, has an active area of nearly 4π steradians, and is sensitive to all RF polarizations. For in-plane measurements (φ = 0), we demonstrate quantitative angle-of-arrival measurements with an uncertainty on the order of one degree in an 11 s measurement. We also demonstrate that we are sensitive to the angle-of-arrival of arbitrary wavevectors in three dimensions (θ ,φ ).
