Abstract: In a general aspect, a radio frequency (RF) measurement device includes first and second mode converters, each configured to convert a mode of the RF electromagnetic wave between a first RF waveguide mode and a second RF waveguide mode. The RF measurement device also includes an internal cavity between the first and second mode converters that contains a vapor or a source of the vapor. The vapor includes Ryberg atoms or molecules. The RF measurement device additionally includes an RF waveguide extending between the first and second mode converters and configured to carry the second RF waveguide mode through the internal cavity. In some variations, the RF waveguide includes first and second longitudinal portions disposed on respective, opposite sides of the device and configured to establish a target RF profile in an interaction region of the internal cavity.
