Efficient spectral hole-burning and atomic frequency comb storage in Nd3+:YLiF4

Zong-Quan Zhou, Jian Wang, Chuan-Feng Li +1

We present spectral hole-burning measurements of the ${}^4{I}_{9/2}\to {}^4{F}_{3/2}$ transition in Nd${}^{3+}$:YLiF${}_4$. The isotope shifts of Nd${}^{3+}$ can be directly resolved…
