ELECTROMAGNETICALLY INDUCED GRATING-BASED ELECTRIC FIELD DETECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD
The present disclosure relates to an electromagnetically induced grating-based electric field detection system and method and, more particularly, to an electric field detection system and method which enable the creation of an electromagnetically induced transparency grating using a low-wavelength laser and enables real-time electromagnetic wave measurement by avoiding the frequency reprocessing of the signal that is essential in the existing Rydberg atom-based electric field measurement technology.
An electromagnetically induced grating-based electric field detection system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a vapor cell; an irradiation light source which irradiates irradiation light to be incident on one end of the vapor cell; a combined light source which irradiates combined light to be incident on another end of the vapor cell; a reflector which reflects the combined light that has passed through the vapor cell and makes it incident on the one end of the vapor cell; an electromagnetic wave generator which generates an electromagnetic wave to be incident on one side surface of the vapor cell; and a reflected light detector which detects a reflected light released from the vapor cell.

ULTRA-LOW NOISE PHOTONIC PHASE NOISE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR MICROWAVE SIGNALS
Systems and methods for precision phase noise measurements of radio frequency (RF) oscillators are provided. An RF signal under test can be modulated on a continuous wave (cw) laser carrier frequency via generation of modulation sidebands using an appropriate modulator. A photonic delay line can be implemented as a self-heterodyne detection system for the phase noise, allowing for photonic down-conversion of the phase noise measurement to direct current (DC). The self-heterodyne detection system allows detection outside of any 1/f noise issues. Ultra-low phase noise detection for RF frequencies in a range from below 1 GHz to beyond 100 GHz is enabled with a low noise floor in the whole frequency range. Higher-order modulation sidebands can further reduce the noise floor of the system. Ultra-low noise RF (microwave) output can be generated. The RF signal under test can be generated by a dielectric resonance oscillator or opto-electronic oscillator.
