Coherent response to optical excitation in a rare-earth ion doped crystal
J. Ruggiero, T. Chanelière, J. -L. Le Gouët
We investigate coherent propagation through a large optical density Tm:YAG crystal. Using an ultra-stable laser, fiber filtering and site selection, we investigate the trans…
Why the two-pulse photon echo is not a good quantum memory protocol
Jérôme Ruggiero, Jean-Louis Le Gouët, Christoph Simon +1
We consider in this paper a two-pulse photon echo sequence as a potential quantum light storage protocol. It is widely believed that a two-pulse scheme should lead to very low effi…
Photon-Echo Quantum Memory
W. Tittel, M. Afzelius, R. L. Cone +4
The future of long-distance quantum communication relies on the availability of quantum memory, i.e. devices that allow temporal storage of quantum information. We review research…
Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage in Tm:YAG
A. L. Alexander, R. Lauro, A. Louchet +2
We report on the experimental demonstration of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) in a Tm:YAG crystal. Tm:YAG is a promising material for use in quantum info…
Observation of Ultra-narrow Electromagnetically Induced Transparency and Slow Light using Purely Electronic Spins in a Hot Atomic Vapor
F. Goldfarb, J. Ghosh, M. David +6
Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is observed in gaseous 4He at room temperature. Ultra-narrow (less than 10 kHz) EIT windows are obtained for the first time for purel…
