Efficient microwave-to-optical conversion using Rydberg atoms
We demonstrate microwave-to-optical conversion using six-wave mixing in cold 87Rb atoms where the microwave field couples to two Rydberg states and propagates collinearly with the converted optical field. Our experiment is performed with a free-space microwave field, and we achieve a conversion effi...
