Laser frequency locking method for Rydberg atomic sensing

Based on the Rydberg cascade electromagnetically induced transparency, we propose a simultaneous dual-wavelength locking method for Rydberg atomic sensing at room temperature. The simplified frequency-locking configuration uses only one signal generator and one electro-optic modulator, realizing real-time feedback for both lasers. We studied the effect of the different probe and coupling laser powers on the error signal. In addition, the Allan variance and a 10 kHz amplitude-modulated signal are introduced to evaluate the performance of the laser frequency stabilization. In principle, the laser frequency stabilization method presented here can be extended to any cascade Rydberg atomic system.
