Efficiency optimization for Atomic Frequency Comb storage

M. Bonarota, J. Ruggiero, J. -L. Le Gouët +1

We study the efficiency of the Atomic Frequency Comb storage protocol. We show that for a given optical depth, the preparation procedure can be optimize to significantly improve th…

Light storage protocols in Tm:YAG

T. Chanelière, R. Lauro, J. Ruggiero +1

We present two quantum memory protocols for solids: A stopped light approach based on spectral hole burning and the storage in an atomic frequency comb. These procedures are well a…

Observation of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency and Slow Light in the Dark State - Bright State Basis of CPT

T. Lauprêtre, J. Ruggiero, R. Ghosh +2

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is observed in a three-level system composed of an excited state and two coherent superpositions of the two ground-state levels. This…

Efficient light storage in a crystal using an Atomic Frequency Comb

T. Chanelière, J. Ruggiero, M. Bonarota +2

We demonstrate efficient and reversible mapping of a light field onto a thulium-doped crystal using an atomic frequency comb (AFC). Thanks to an accurate spectral preparation of th…

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…
