Measurement of photon echoes in Er:Y_2SiO_5 at 15 µm with a diode laser and an amplifier

R. M. Macfarlane, Todd L. Harris, Y. Sun +2 more

We have measured the optical dephasing time of Er(3+) transitions near 1.5 microm in the two crystallographically inequivalent sites of Y(2)SiO(5), using an external-cavity diode laser amplified by an erbium-doped fiber amplifier. Two-pulse photon echoes were observed at zero field and in magnetic fields up to 55kG, with dephasing times as long as 580 micros (corresponding to a linewidth of 550 Hz). Stimulated echoes were also measured and showed evidence of spectral diffusion during the 13-ms lifetime of the (4)I(13/2) level.

Coherent transient phenomena, particularly photon echoes, provide fundamental information on structure and dynamics of solids and provide the mechanism for time domain optical storage, signal routing, and processing.1 For these applications, materials are needed in the 1.5-μm telecommunications window, and erbium-doped crystals using the 4I15/2(1) → 4I13/2(1) transition are one important class of such materials.

Stark shift in Y 2 SiO 5 :Er 3+ by the photon echo beating method

V N Lisin, A M Shegeda, V V Samartsev +2 more

Abstract The coefficient of a linear Stark shift of the 4 F 9/2 – 4 I 15/2 transition of Er 3+ ion in Y 2 SiO 5 is measured (14.3 kHz V −1 cm) by splitting the upper and lower levels of the transition by a pulsed electric field and measuring the splitting frequency from the period of beatings of the temporal form of a photon echo signal (stark photon echo beating method). The linear Stark coefficients of Er 3+ transitions in Y 2 SiO 5 have not been measured before, and this is a valuable result for a number of applications such as gradient echo memory, group velocity control via spectral hole burning, etc.
