Incoherent Photon Echoes

Raymond John Beach, Sven R. Hartmann

Published Aug 13, 1984• 179 citations

Abstract

Photon echoes are generated by excitation pulses of chaotic (thermal) light. Echo signals are large and display a modulation with pulse separation due to quantum beating of hyperfine levels.Received 17 October 1983DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.53.663©1984 American Physical Society

INCOHERENTLY GENERATED PHOTON ECHOES

Raymond John Beach, Sven R. Hartmann

Optical coherent transient experiments have traditionally used laser generated coherent excitation pulses. While this may be necessary for the observation of, say self induced transparency, it is not a universal requirement.

High-Yield Picosecond Photon Echoes by Photochemical Hole-Burning

Rein K. Kaarli, Alexander Rebane, Peeter Saari

The phenomenon of stimulated photon echo [1] has already been investigated in a variety of molecular systems but in all cases the magnitude of echo signals has been limited to a small fraction of the pumping pulses intensity. The main reason for that lies in a rapid relaxation of nonequilibrium population of molecular states, which hinder the formation of spectral population gratings responsible for the stimulation of retarded optical pulses.
