Measurement of the quantum defects of 85Rb P and F-series via microwave-assisted electromagnetically induced transparency spectroscopy

We report the measurement of the quantum defects of 85Rb P3/2 and F7/2-series Rydberg levels in a room temperature vapor cell by microwave-assisted electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) spectroscopy. First, a novel microwave optical three-photon excitation method is employed to obtain the m...
