Radiation trapping in a dense cold Rydberg gas (2017)
Journal Article
Sadler, D., Bridge, E., Boddy, D., Bounds, A., Keegan, N., Lochead, G., …Olmos, B. (2017). Radiation trapping in a dense cold Rydberg gas. Physical Review A, 95(1), Article 013839. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.95.013839

Cold atomic gases resonantly excited to Rydberg states can exhibit strong optical nonlinearity at the single photon level. We observe that in such samples radiation trapping leads to an additional mechanism for Rydberg excitation. Conversely we demon... Read More about Radiation trapping in a dense cold Rydberg gas.
