Probe couples to excited state of both |+> and |-> which have equal but opposite transition probabilities, thus on-resonance probe not absorbedCoherent process – decoherence effects increase absorption

Simulations
• Solve three level optical Bloch equations
• Rydberg transition Rabi frequency from oscillator strength S.-U. Haq et al., EPJD 44, p. 439 (2007)

Catastrophe!
• Hole drilled in viewport• Vacuum lost
Hole • Cell cleaned out• Reassembled and re-
evacuated• Absorption seen again

Probe: 5s2 1S0 → 5s5p 1P1
Couple: 5s2 1S0 → 5snd 1D2
Unlikely to see EIT due to large decoherence
Rydberg state has a long lifetime relative to 1P1

Outlook
• Change dye to attempt electron shelving
• Finish building pyramid MOT
