Approaches for a quantum memory at telecommunication wavelengths
Björn Lauritzen, Jiří Minář, Hugues de Riedmatten +2
We report experimental storage and retrieval of weak coherent states of light at telecommunication wavelengths using erbium ions doped into a solid. We use two photon echo based qu…

Efficient optical pumping of Zeeman spin levels in Nd3+:YVO4
Mikael Afzelius, Matthias U. Staudt, Hugues de Riedmatten +7
We demonstrate that Zeeman ground-state spin levels in Nd3+:YVO4 provides the possibility to create an efficient lambda-system for optical pumping experiments. The branching ratio…
