Abstract

We considered the two-photon adiabatic rapid passage excitation of a single atom from the ground to a Rydberg state. Three schemes were analyzed: both pump and Stokes fields chirped and pulsed, only the pump field chirped, and only the pump field pulsed and chirped while the Stokes field is continuous wave (CW). In all three cases high transfer efficiencies > 99% were achieved for the experimentally realizable Rabi frequencies and the pulse durations of the fields.
