Nuclear-quadrupole optical hole burning in the stoichiometric material EuP5O14.

چکیده
Hole burning, which is attributed to optical pumping of nuclear-quadrupole levels, has been observed in the stoichiometric rare-earth compound, EuP5O14 . The long lifetime of these holes (-60 min) implies slow nuclear-spin flip-flop rates. The small magnetic moment of Eu3+ has prevented conventional magnetic-resonance measurements on Eu3+ compounds, but hole burning provides a sensitive method for the optical detection of nuclear-magnetic resonance and nuclear-quadrupole resonance. We have used hole burning and optically detected nuclear-quadrupole resonance to determine quadrupole splittings in the ground (7Fo) and excited (5Do) states.

Persistent spectral hole burning in an organic material for temporal pattern recognition
A broad-bandwidth persistent spectral hole-burning organic material is used as a fast optical processor that compares an input temporal-frequency profile with a recorded reference spectral shape. This patternrecognition procedure relies on a subpicosecond temporal cross-correlation process. The size of the phaseencoding spectral interval exceeds 1 THz. The storage material, the spectral encoder...

We present spectral hole-burning measurements of the (4)I9/2 → (4)F3/2 transition in Nd(3+):YLiF4. The isotope shifts of Nd(3+) can be directly resolved in the optical absorption spectrum. We report atomic frequency comb storage with an echo efficiency of up to 35% and a memory bandwidth of 60 MHz in this material. The interesting properties show the potential of this material for use in both q...
متن کاملRoom-temperature spectral hole burning in an engineered inhomogeneously broadened resonance.
We observe spectral hole burning in a room-temperature optical fiber pumped by a spectrally broadened pump beam. This beam drives the stimulated Brillouin process, creating an inhomogeneously broadened resonance in the material whose shape can be engineered by tailoring the beam's spectrum. A monochromatic saturating beam "burns" a narrow spectral hole that is approximately 10(4) times narrower...

High-quality rare-earth-ion (REI) doped materials are a prerequisite for many applications such as quantum memories, ultra-high-resolution optical spectrum analyzers and information processing. Compared to bulk materials, REI doped powders offer low-cost fabrication and a greater range of accessible material systems. Here we show that crystal properties, such as nuclear spin lifetime, are stron...
متن کاملAll-optical measurement of nuclear-spin relaxation
Nuclear-spin relaxation rates are usually measured by pulsed radio frequency excitation of nuclear-spin transitions. When the number of spins is too small for direct detection with conventional nuclear-magneticresonance spectrometers, pulsed excitation may be combined with optical detection of the nuclear spins for increased sensitivity. Here we demonstrate that such measurements can also be do...
