ENHANCEMENT OF RYDBERG ATOM INTERACTIONS USING DC AND AC STARK SHIFTS

This thesis reports the use of both dc and ac electric fi eld induced resonant energy transfer, RET, between cold Rydberg atoms as a useful tool for enhancement of interatomic interactions. A general technique for laser frequency stabilization and its suitability for Rydberg atom excitation is also...
