A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11921142B2) discloses a measurement system designed for analyzing RF signals. The system includes an optically transparent enclosure with an optically pumpable medium exposed to the electromagnetic field of the RF signal. It features an optical pump that penetrates the medium with intensity-modulated light, a field generator for creating an electric and/or magnetic field within the enclosure, a controller to adjust the absorption sensitivity of the medium based on the absorption frequency, and a detector to analyze the optical properties of the light passing through the medium.

Furthermore, the patent details the components and configurations of the measurement system, such as the use of a modulated laser for the optical pump, a homogeneous field generator, and a photodiode detector. It also describes variations in the system, including the use of a spatially resolving light modulator, a camera detector, and different types of mediums like gases (e.g., alkali metals like Rubidium) or solids (e.g., diamond). Additionally, the method outlined in the patent involves generating a field in the enclosure, penetrating the medium with modulated light, adjusting absorption sensitivity, and detecting optical properties to analyze RF signals effectively.
