Zusammenfassung:A sensor comprising a vapor cell including a vapor of alkali atoms is disclosed. The sensor further comprises a first photonic integrated circuit (PIC) configured to direct light of a first wavelength into the vapor cell and incident on the vapor of alkali atoms, wherein the light of the first wavelength is configured to excite the alkali atoms to a first excited state from a ground state. The sensor further comprises a detector configured to detect a response of the alkali atoms, after the alkali atoms are excited from the first excited state to a Rydberg state, to incident electromagnetic radiation.
