First-order thermal insensitivity of the frequency of a narrow spectral hole in a crystal
S. Zhang, S. Seidelin, R. Le Targat +3
The possibility of generating an narrow spectral hole in a rare-earth doped crystal opens the gateway to a variety of applications, one of which is the realization of an ultrastabl…
Rare-Earth Molecular Crystals with Ultra-narrow Optical Linewidths for Photonic Quantum Technologies
Diana Serrano, Kuppusamy Senthil Kumar, Benoît Heinrich +4
Rare-earth ions are promising solid state systems to build light-matter interfaces at the quantum level. This relies on their potential to show narrow optical homogeneous linewidth…
Cavity-enhanced spectroscopy of a few-ion ensemble in Eu3+:Y2O3
Bernardo Casabone, Julia Benedikter, Thomas Hümmer +7
We report on the coupling of the emission from a single europium-doped nanocrystal to a fiber-based microcavity under cryogenic conditions. As a first step, we study the sample pro…
Towards highly multimode optical quantum memory for quantum repeaters
Pierre Jobez, Nuala Timoney, Cyril Laplane +5
Long-distance quantum communication through optical fibers is currently limited to a few hundreds of kilometres due to fiber losses. Quantum repeaters could extend this limit to co…
Orange emission in Pr3+-doped fluoroindate glasses
Danilo Manzani, David Pabœuf, Sidney J. L. Ribeiro +2
We synthesize and study the properties of praseodymium doped fluoroindate glasses. Glass compositions with praseodymium molar concentrations up to 5% were obtained with good optica…
Diode-pumped Pr:BaY2F8 cw orange laser
Davis Pabœuf, Oussama Mhibik, Fabien Bretenaker +3
We report the realization of the continuous wave laser emission in the orange at 607 nm from a Pr:BaY2F8 (Pr:BYF) crystal pumped by a blue GaN laser diode. A maximal output power o…
Emission of photon echoes in a strongly scattering medium
F. Beaudoux, A. Ferrier, O. Guillot-Noël +3
We observe the two- and three-pulse photon echo emission from a scattering powder, obtained by grinding a Pr:YSiO rare earth doped single crystal. We show that the c…
