    • Data associated with "Two-dimensional imaging of electromagnetic fields via light sheet fluorescence imaging with Rydberg atoms"

    Metadata Updated: March 14, 2025

    Data associated with the publication: "Two-dimensional imaging of electromagnetic fields via light sheet fluorescence imaging with Rydberg atoms"Abstract:The ability to image electromagnetic fields holds key scientific and industrial applications, including electromagnetic compatibility, diagnostics of high-frequency devices, and experimental scientific work involving field interactions. Generally electric and magnetic field measurements require conductive elements which significantly perturb the field. However, electromagnetic fields can be measured non-perturbatively via the shift they induce on Rydberg states of alkali atoms in atomic vapor, which are highly sensitive to electric fields. Previous field measurements using Rydberg atoms utilized electromagnetically induced transparency to read out the shift on the states induced by the fields, but did not provide spatial resolution. In this work, we demonstrate that electromagnetically induced transparency can be spatially resolved by imaging the fluorescence of the probe. We demonstrate that this can be used to image $\sim$V/cm scale electric fields in the MHz-GHz range and $\sim$mT scale static magnetic fields, with minimal perturbation to the fields. We also demonstrate the ability to image $\sim$ V/m scale fields for resonant microwave radiation, although standing waves generated by the vapor cell walls obscure external field structure in this regime. We perform this field imaging with a spatial resolution of order 160 $\mu$m.This dataset contains the data associated with Figure 1 c,f,g, and h, Figure 2, Figure 3 b,d,f, and h, Figure 4 c,d, and e, Figure 5 b, c, and e, Figure 6, and the Supplemental Material's Figure 1.
