Terahertz Receiver based on Room-Temperature Rydberg-Atoms
Abstract
Realization of practical terahertz wireless communications still faces many challenges. The receiver with high sensitivity is important for THz wireless communications. Here we demonstrate a terahertz receiver based on the cesium Rydberg atoms in a room-temperature vapor cell. The minimum detectable THz electric field is calibrated. With this receiver, the phase-sensitive conversion of amplitude-modulated or frequency-modulated terahertz waves into optical signals is performed. The results show that the atomic receiver has many advantages due to its quantum properties. Especially, the long distance THz wireless communications is achievable using this receiver. Furthermore, the atomic receiver can be used in the THz wireless-to-optical link.
