Measurement and numerical calculation of Rubidium Rydberg Stark spectra

We report on the measurement of Stark shifted energy levels of ^87 Rb Rydberg atoms in static electric fields by means of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). Electric field strengths of up to 500 V cm ^−1 , ranging beyond the classical ionization threshold, were applied using electrodes...
