Increasing the decoherence rate of Rydberg polaritons due to accumulating dark Rydberg atoms

We experimentally observed an accumulative type of nonlinear attenuation and distortion of slow light, i.e., Rydberg polaritons, with the Rydberg state |32D5/2) in the weak-interaction regime. The present effect of attenuation and distortion cannot be explained by considering only the dipole-dipole...
