Particularities of photon echo in a ruby

Ramil G. Usmanov, Nikolay A. Chitalin

Photon-echo (PE) measurements has been performed in (gamma) - irradiated ruby and in external constant electric field.There are considered the factors which determine the echo envelope decay of primary and backward PE echo for large samples of ruby. The data of PE for ruby of transitions with nucleus spin I equals 3/2 are presented. This sample is a perspective object for searching long-lived PE.

Photon Echoes

Isaac D. Abella, Norman A. Kurnit, Sven R. Hartmann

Experiments are described in which a dilute ruby crystal is found to emit spontaneously a short pulse of light, the photon echo, at a time $\ensuremath{\approx}{\ensuremath{\tau}}_{s}$ after irradiation by two successive ruby-laser pulses separated by ${\ensuremath{\tau}}_{s}$. The phenomenon is explained in terms of a macroscopic oscillating electric dipole moment, which is momentarily reformed at the time the photon echo is observed. The analysis predicts the echo polarization as well as the propagation direction relative to the input pulses. A necessary condition for obtaining echoes in ruby is the application of a moderate magnetic field close to the optic axis of the crystal, and a simple model based on ${\mathrm{Cr}}^{3+}$-Al interactions is offered to account for this magnetic-field behavior. The relaxation time of the echo is found to exceed 250 nsec at 4.2\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}K but to be less than 70 nsec at 14\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}K, and is thought to be due to phonon-induced transitions in the excited $^{2}E(\overline{E})$ level. Multiple echo formation is also described.

Multiple photon echo in optically dense media

Olga M. Fedotova, Oleg Kh Khasanov, T. V. Smirnova +1 more

Multiple photon echo generation process in extended crystals is investigated taking into account both the contribution of irreversible relaxation during whole excitation time and propagation effects caused by the resonant medium influence on the exciting pulse sequence and echo-responses.
