Storage enhanced nonlinearities in a cold atomic Rydberg ensemble: experimental data

  • 1. ICFO-Institut de Ciencies Fotoniques, The Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology, 08860 Castelldefels (Barcelona), Spain

Description

The data show number of input/output photons under different conditions when coherent pulses of light undergo electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a cold cloud of Rubidium 87 atoms via a ladder system connecting the ground state of 87-Rubidium and different Rydberg levels via (see more details in Distante et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 113001 (2016)  or in the preprint https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.07478)

This is the pre-analysed data from which the results in the paper are derived.

 

  • The ODS file contains different sheets which correspond to Rydberg states with different principal quantum numbers
  • The PDF contains useful information regarding the conditions of the experiment under which the data was obtained, such as the optical depth (OD) of the cloud, its dimensions, and the Rabi frequency of the coupling beam.
