Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 1831–1834 (1999)Using High Rydberg States as Electric Field SensorsReceived 30 October 1998; published in the issue dated 1 March 1999 High Rydberg states of the krypton atom have been investigated at high resolution by vacuum ultraviolet–millimeter wave double-resonance spectroscopy. The measurement of Stark shifts in the spectra of these high Rydberg states is used to determine electric fields with a ±20μV/cm accuracy. The analysis of spectral line shapes provides information on inhomogeneous electric field distributions in the experimental volume. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
