Slow light enhanced photon echoes

Joonsung Hahn, Byoung Seung HAM

Published Sep 28, 2009• 2 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

We report a slow light-enhanced photon echo method, whose retrieval efficiency is two orders of magnitude higher than that of conventional photon echoes. The enhanced photon echo efficiency is due to lengthened interaction time given by ultraslow group velocity.

Enhanced Echo Retrieval Efficiency Using Ultraslow Light

Joonsung Hahn, Byoung Seung HAM

Using ultraslow light phenomenon, we report two-orders of magnitude enhanced photon echo efficiency in a rare-earth doped solid medium, where the enhancement is due to lengthened photon-atom interaction time in a dilute optical medium.

Observations of photon echo enhancement in an ultraslow light regime

Joonsung Hahn, Byoung Seung HAM

Using spectral hole-burning-based ultraslow group velocity in a dilute solid medium, we report enhanced photon echo efficiency three orders of magnitude higher than that in a nonslow light regime. The enhancement is due to exponentially increased absorption of an optical data pulse owing to the enhanced photon-atom interaction in an ultraslow light regime, whereas echo reabsorption is negligibly small due to group-velocity dependent population depletion.

Photon Echoes in Inverted Media

We present the results of simulations of two pulse and three pulse photon echoes both in absorbing and inverted media. It is found that under proper conditions the efficiency of the photon echo process may substantially be improved in an inverted medium.

On-demand control of photon echoes far exceeding the spin coherence constraint via coherence swapping between optical and spin transitions

Byoung Seung HAM

Using on-demand coherence conversion via optical locking in conventional stimulated (three-pulse) photon echoes, ultralong, ultraefficient photon storage has been observed in a rare-earth Pr3+ doped Y2SiO5, where storage time is several orders of magnitude longer and retrieval efficiency is enhanced by fifty times. Compared with the same method applied to two-pulse photon echoes for a rephasing halt, use of spectral grating in the stimulated photon echoes offers a phase-independent coherence conversion between optical and spin states. Eventually an ultralong spin population decay-dependent photon storage protocol is achieved by applying optical locking to a spectral grating in conventional stimulated photon echoes. The present breakthrough in both photon storage time and retrieval efficiency opens a door to long-distance quantum communications utilizing quantum repeaters.
