Ultrashort pulses of extreme ultraviolet light from high-harmonic generation are a new tool for probing coupled charge, spin, and phonon dynamics with element specificity, attosecond pump-probe synchronization, time resolution few femtoseconds in tabletop apparatus. In this paper, we address an important question magneto-optics that has implications understanding magnetism on the fastest scales: Is signal transverse magneto-optical Kerr effect at M2,3 edges magnetic material purely or is it...
We demonstrate a robust, scale-factor-free vector magnetometer, which uses closed-loop frequency-locking scheme to simultaneously track Zeeman-split resonance pairs of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. This technique offers three-orders-of-magnitude increase dynamic range compared open-loop methodologies; is robust against fluctuations temperature, linewidth, and contrast; allows for simultaneous interrogation multiple transition frequencies. By directly detecting the frequencies NV...
We report on detailed studies of electronic and nuclear spin states in the diamond-nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center under weak transverse magnetic fields. numerically predict experimentally verify a previously unobserved NV hyperfine level anticrossing (LAC) occurring at bias fields tens gauss---two orders magnitude lower than reported LACs $\ensuremath{\sim}500$ $\ensuremath{\sim}1000$ G axial then discuss how ground-state Hamiltonian can be manipulated this regime to tailor NV's sensitivity...
We implement a DC voltage reference by measuring Stark shifts of cesium Rydberg atoms in vapor cell. Cesium are excited from the ground state to 15s via degenerate two-photon transition that provides narrow, Doppler free line. The experiences scalar, quadratic stark shift which is used measure across parallel plate capacitor integrated into demonstrate sensitivity
We investigate the Stark shift in Rydberg rubidium atoms through electromagnetically induced transparency for measurement of direct current (dc) and 60~Hz alternating (ac) voltages. This technique has applications to atom-based measurements dc ac voltage calibration instrumentation. present experimental results different atomic states that allow ranging from 0~V 12~V. A standard could become an alternative method with more favorable size, weight, power consumption, cost compared precise...
