Optical pumping simulations and optical Rabi frequency measurements in ${}^{151}{\mathrm{Eu}}^{3+}:{\mathrm{Y}}_2{\mathrm{SiO}}_5$ under magnetic field

Jingjing Chen, Mikael Afzelius

Europium-doped crystal ${\mathrm{Y}}_2{\mathrm{SiO}}_5$ is an interesting platform for optical quantum memories, due to its long optical and spin coherence times. In this work, we inve…
