  1. Microwave Manipulation of Atomic Energy Levels Mark Gordon Department of Physics University of Virginia

  2. Coupling of energy levels s’ p Energy s Excite electrons using laser

  3. Coupling of energy levels s’ Microwave field at resonant frequency - “dressing field” p Energy (Width of separation dependent on strength of field) s Excite electrons using laser

  4. Coupling of energy levels s’ Microwave field at resonant frequency - “dressing field” p Energy Look for resonances with second microwave field - “probe field” s Excite electrons using laser

  5. Purely linear polarization s’ p s’ and p split in two

  6. With circular polarization -1/2 +1/2 s’ p s’ and p split in four

  7. Time resolved field ionization signals Field ramp Voltage Time Atom with lower energy state Atom with higher energy state

  8. A timeline of one cycle of the experiment Dressing field Probe field Laser pulse Field ionization ramp Time
