Spectral hole lifetimes and spin population relaxation dynamics in neodymium-doped yttrium orthosilicate
Emmanuel Zambrini Cruzeiro, Alexey Tiranov, Imam Usmani +6
We present a detailed study of the lifetime of optical spectral holes due to population storage in Zeeman sublevels of Nd:YSiO. The lifetime is measured as a functio…
High Resolution Optical Spectroscopy and Magnetic Properties of Yb3+ in Y2SiO5
Sacha Welinski, Alban Ferrier, Mikael Afzelius +1
Rare earth doped crystals are promising systems for quantum information processing. In particular paramagnetic rare earths could be used to build coherent interfaces with optical a…
High precision measurement of the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction between two rare-earth ions in a solid
Cyril Laplane, Emmanuel Zambrini Cruzeiro, Florian Fröwis +2
We report on a direct measurement of the pair-wise anti-symmetric exchange interaction, known as the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction (DMI), in a Nd3+-doped YVO4 crystal. To this e…
High resolution transient and permanent spectral hole burning in Ce:YSiO at liquid helium temperatures
Jenny Karlsson, Adam N. Nilsson, Diana Serrano +5
We perform hole burning with a low drift stabilized laser within the zero phonon line of the 4f-5d transition in Ce:YSiO at 2K. The narrowest spectral holes appear f…
Stark Echo Modulation for Quantum Memories
A. Arcangeli, A. Ferrier, Ph. Goldner
Quantum memories for optical and microwave photons provide key functionalities in quantum processing and communications. Here we propose a protocol well adapted to solid state ense…
