ENHANCEMENT OF RYDBERG ATOM INTERACTIONS USING DC AND AC STARK SHIFTS
Bohlouli-Zanjani, Parisa (University of Waterloo, 2010-05-19)This thesis reports the use of both dc and ac electric fi eld induced resonant energy transfer, RET, between cold Rydberg atoms as a useful tool for enhancement of interatomic interactions. A general technique for laser ... -
HIGH RESOLUTION MICROWAVE SPECTROSCOPY OF ULTRA COLD RYDBERG ATOMS AS A PROBE OF ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS
Bohlouli-Zanjani, Parisa (University of Waterloo, 2003)In highly excited Rydberg atoms, the excited electron is in a large, loosely bound orbit. Hence, in contrast with the ground states, the Rydberg states are very sensitive to external electric field and can be ionized in ...
