Alternation pulsed double resonance detection scheme for gapless detection in atomic vapor quantum sensors

摘要

A system for measuring electromagnetic radiation, including at least one light source; a quantum converter arranged to be exposed to radiation emitted by the at least one light source and the electromagnetic radiation, and at least one detector for detecting optical radiation received from the quantum converter. The quantum converter includes at least a first interaction zone and a second interaction zone, and the system establishes at least a first light beam path for exposing the first interaction zone and a second light beam path for exposing the second interaction zone with radiation emitted by the at least one light source. Each laser beam path is controllable to be in an activated state enabling exposure and in a deactivated state preventing exposure of the respective interaction zone.
