contents We experimentally demonstrate a cavity-based detection scheme for a cold atomic ensemble with a radiatively open transition. Our method exploits the collective strong coupling of atoms to the cavity mode, which results in off-resonant probing of the atomic ensemble, leading to a dramatic reduction in losses from the detection cycle. We then show the viability of this frequency measurement for detecting a small number of atoms and molecules by theoretical modelling. Compared with the most commonly used fluorescence method, we show that the cavity-based scheme allows rapid and prolonged detection of the system's evolution with minimal destruction.
