Abstract
A sensor receiver includes a Rydberg cell configured to be exposed to a radio frequency (RF) signal, and a probe source configured to generate a plurality of spaced apart pulsed probe beams within the Rydberg cell. The pulsed probe beams are offset in time from one another. A detector is positioned downstream from the Rydberg cell.
Claims22
A sensor receiver comprising:
- a Rydberg cell configured to be exposed to a radio frequency (RF) signal;
- a probe source configured to generate a plurality of spaced apart pulsed probe beams within the Rydberg cell, with the pulsed probe beams being offset in time from one another;
- and
- a detector downstream from the Rydberg cell.

A sensor receiver comprising:
- a Rydberg cell configured to be exposed to a radio frequency (RF) signal;
- a probe source comprising an optical source, and a pulse shaper downstream therefrom and configured to generate a plurality of non-scanned, spaced apart, pulsed probe beams within the Rydberg cell, with the non-scanned, spaced apart, pulsed probe beams being offset in time from one another;
- and
- a detector downstream from the Rydberg cell.
