Coherent population trapping in ruby crystal at room temperature

Abstract

Observation of coherent population trapping (CPT) at ground-state Zeeman sublevels of $C{r}^{3+}$-ion in ruby is reported. The experiments are performed at room temperature by using both nanosecond optical pulses and nanosecond trains of ultrashort pulses. In both cases sharp drops in the resonantly induced fluorescence are detected as the external magnetic field is varied. Theoretical analysis of CPT in a transient regime due to pulsed action of optical pulses is presented.
