“…The technique can also be used to measure the cross phase modulation of the light field propagating through a highly dispersive medium. Recently, the technique has been used to demonstrate the blockade in two-photon excitations to the Rydberg state in thermal vapor [25]. We would like to extend this technique to measure the optical non-linearity of Rydberg EIT in blockade interaction regime in thermal vapor as well as in ultra-cold atoms.…”

We discuss the optical heterodyne detection technique to study the absorption and dispersion of a probe beam propagating through a medium with a narrow resonance. The technique has been demonstrated for Rydberg Electro-magnetically induced transparency (EIT) in rubidium thermal vapor and the optical non-linearity of a probe beam with variable intensity has been studied. A quantitative comparison of the experimental result with a suitable theoretical model is presented. The limitations and the working regime of the technique are discussed.
