Atoms in Rydberg states are an important building block for emerging quantum technologies. While excitation to Rydberg orbitals is typically achieved in more than tens of nanoseconds, the physical limit is in fact much faster, at the ten picoseconds level. Here, we tackle such ultrafast Rydberg excitation of a rubidium atom by designing a dedicated pulsed laser system generating 480 nm pulses of 10 ps duration.

Recently, lead halide perovskites have shown great potential in the photodetection field. Unfortunately, the existence of toxic lead elements restricts their practical application. Herein, high-quality 1D lead-free crystals RbCuX (X = Cl, Br) are successfully synthesized in an acidic medium.

The requisite phase-conjugate mirror inside the resonator is constructed using non-degenerate four-wave mixing (4WM) in rubidium vapor. The glancing-angle phase-conjugate mirror is a 100% output coupler, and therefore this resonator is unusual in that no light circulates the cavity more than once.

Objectives: While some metals have been reported as carcinogens or potential carcinogens, only few modern-standard datasets including a large number of elements are available. The present analysis established a first trace elements spectrum by relating the concentration of metals and trace elements in the serum of sarcoma patients with survival data.
Methods: Patients with sarcoma and controls were retrospectively selected from the International Sarcoma Kindred Study database (ISKS).

In this paper, we demonstrate stable radio frequency (RF) transfer via metropolitan optical fiber link in the Beijing area. The phase variation of the RF signal is compensated by a phase conjugation method incorporating two high-performance phase-locked loops. The wavelength conversion module extends the transmission length to 200 km with only two parallel 50 km dark optical fibers available.
