Short-length storage of intense optical pulses in solids by adiabatic passage

Abstract

We propose a scheme of storage of intense pulses that allows a significant reduction of the storage length with respect to standard schemes. This scheme is particularly adapted to store optical information in media with fast relaxations.

Storage of intense optical pulses in solids

G. G. Grigoryan

Possibility to store optical information in media with fast relaxations is studied in case of arbitrary intensities of probe and control pulses. Analytical solution of the self-consistent system of equations for propagation and density matrix is obtained with allowance for the first non-stationary corrections. A new scheme of storage is proposed which allows an essential reduction of the optical length needed for storage.

Storage and selective release of optical information based on fractional stimulated Raman adiabatic passage in a solid

Hai-Hua Wang, Lei Wang, Xiaogang Wei +5 more

We demonstrate storage and selective release of a light pulse in a Pr:YSO crystal, which is based on atomic spin coherence created by fractional stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP). The fractional STIRAP gives better storage fidelity compared to STIRAP. Selective release of stored optical information and better storage fidelity have practical applications in information processing and all-optical communication.

Light storage in a doped solid enhanced by feedback-controlled pulse shaping

Fabian Beil, M. Buschbeck, Georg Heinze +1 more

We report on experiments dealing with feedback-controlled pulse shaping to optimize the efficiency of light storage by electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a Pr${}^{3+}$:Y${}_{2}$SiO${}_{5}$ crystal. A learning loop in combination with an evolutionary algorithm permits the automatic determination of optimal temporal profiles of intensities and frequencies in the driving laser pulses (i.e., the probe and coupling pulses). As a main advantage, the technique finds optimal solutions even in the complicated multilevel excitation scheme of a doped solid, involving large inhomogeneous broadening. The learning loop experimentally determines optimal temporal intensity profiles of the coupling pulses for a given probe pulse. The optimized intensity pulse shapes enhance the light-storage efficiency in the doped solid by a factor of $2$. The learning loop also determines a fast and efficient preparation pulse sequence, which serves to optically prepare the crystal prior to light-storage experiments. The optimized preparation sequence is 5 times faster than standard preparation sequences. Moreover, the optimized preparation sequence enhances the optical depth in the medium by a factor of $5$. As a consequence, the efficiency of light storage also increases by another factor of $3$. Our experimental data clearly demonstrate the considerable potential of feedback-controlled pulse shaping, applied to EIT-driven light storage in solid media.
