Light-shift-modulated photon-echo.

چکیده
We show that the AC-Stark shift (light-shift) is a powerful and versatile tool to control the emission of a photon-echo in the context of optical storage. As a proof-of-principle, we demonstrate that the photon-echo efficiency can be fully modulated by applying light-shift control pulses in an erbium-doped solid. The control of the echo emission is attributed to the spatial gradient induced by the light-shift beam.

Inhomogeneous Light Shift Effects on Atomic Quantum State Evolution in Non-Destructive Measurements
Various parameters of a trapped collection of cold and ultracold atoms can be determined non– destructively by measuring the phase shift of an off–resonant probe beam, caused by the state dependent index of refraction of the atoms. The dispersive light–atom interaction, however, gives rise to a differential light shift (AC Stark shift) between the atomic states which, for a nonuniform probe int...
متن کاملOne- and two-color photon echo peak shift studies of photosystem I.
Wavelength-dependent one- and two-color photon echo peak shift spectroscopy was performed on the chlorophyll Qy band of trimeric photosystem I from Thermosynechococcus elongatus. Sub-100 fs energy transfer steps were observed in addition to longer time scales previously measured by others. In the main PSI absorption peak (675-700 nm), the peak shift decays more slowly with increasing wavelength...
متن کاملThree pulse echo peak shift measurements on the B820 subunit of LH1 of Rhodospirillum rubrum
Ž . Three pulse photon echo peak shift measurements 3PEPS of the detergent isolated B820 subunit of the light harvesting complex of Rhodospirillum rubrum are presented and compared with 3PEPS data for the LH1 complex of Rhodobacter sphaeroides. The comparison suggests that the 90 fs component of LH1 3PEPS is indeed the energy transfer component. The striking similarity between 3PEPS of LH1 and ...
متن کاملThree pulse stimulated photon echo experiments as a probe of polar solvation dynamics: Utility of harmonic bath models
The three pulse photon echo peak shift technique was used to study solvation dynamics in acetonitrile ͑297 K͒, methanol ͑297 and 323 K͒, and ethylene glycol ͑297 and 397 K͒ utilizing the tricarbocyanine laser dye, IR144, as a probe. The spectral density, ͑͒, governing the solute-solvent interaction was obtained for each solvent and temperature through numerical fitting of the three pulse photon echo ...
متن کاملPhoton Echo Relaxation In
We have observed deeply modulated photon echoes from Pr 3 ÷ ions in LaF3 reflecting nuclear hyperfine interactions in both the ground 3H 4 and excited 3P o states. We infer splittings of 0.75 MHz and 1.13 MHz for the 3P 0 state, lnhomogeneous broadening of the terminal levels is found to lead to echo modulation damping. A surprising concentration dependence of the photon echo relaxation rate is...
