摘要

We present an experimental investigation of continuous-frequency electric field measurement for D-band terahertz waves based on Rydberg atoms. Using the continuous superheterodyne method in near-resonant and non-resonant regions in the center of a Rydberg energy level, a range of several GHz’s continuous-frequency field strength measurement can be realized. By using six Rydberg states, we accomplished continuous field strength measurement in all D-band terahertz waves, and a minimum detectable electric field strength of 22.08 µV/cm was achieved. Our results may provide support for the development of a terahertz atomic spectrum analyzer.
