Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of the present research is to develop a quasi-frequency-tunable,low-frequency single-photon source. In an effort to realize such a novel photon source, we aim to prepare a single cold Rb Rydberg atom inside a Fabry-Perot cavity in the magneto-optical trap (MOT). It is well known that dipole blockade effect allows us to excite a single cold Rydberg atom in the MOT, and intense, single mode 480-nm tunable laser system is required to do so for cold Rb atoms in the MOT. In the present experiment we have constructed 480-nm laser system. Furthermore, we have designed a Fabry-Perot cavity for driving transitions between Rydberg states to produce a low-frequency single photon.
At the same time, we have observed low-fequency superradiance which is emitted from the the Rb Rydberg atoms in a gas cell. In addition, a new method of exciting Rydberg has been developed.
