Coherent microwave-to-optical conversion via six-wave mixing in Rydberg atoms

We present an experimental demonstration of converting a microwave field to an optical field via frequency mixing in a cloud of cold 87Rb atoms, where the microwave field strongly couples to an electric dipole transition between Rydberg states. We show that the conversion allows the phase informatio...
