Effect of locking of photon echo signals in multichannel data recording

Abstract

The effect of locking of a long-lived photon echo is investigated in the case where nonresonant laser radiation (a standing or traveling wave with an artificially created spatial inhomogeneity) serves as an inhomogeneous external perturbation, which results in random shifts or splitting of the initial monochromatic components of the inhomogeneously broadened line. The use of the mutual spatial orientation of the gradients of electric fields as an associative key of access to recorded information allows one to produce a large number of independent channels of data recording. It is demonstrated that the proposed scheme for recording and associative sampling of information has the advantage that, in each channel, information is recorded simultaneously at all optical centers (the whole inhomogeneously broadened resonance line), which does not decrease the intensity of the response from each channel. Moreover, the echo holographic information coded in the wavefronts of the exciting pulses can also be recorded in each channel, which does not affect the independence of individual channels of data recording.

Information locking in optical memory devices based on photon echo

The method of information locking under photon echo regime have been suggested. To lock a data written in a resonant system the subjection of a sample to external inhomogeneous electric field may be used. The change in gradient of that field between writing and reading of information causes change of frequency distribution of optical centers over inhomogeneously broadened line resulting in the photon echo generation damping. The prospects for the method use are considered.

The Long-Lived Photon Echo Response Locking Effect in the Presence of External Non-Resonant Laser Pulses with a Different Spatial Orientation

L. A. Nefedev, É. I. Khakimzyanova, Guzel I. Garnaeva

The correlation of the inhomogeneous broadening of the resonance transition at different time intervals and the efficiency of long-lived photon echo response locking by the action of standing waves of non-resonant laser pulses are considered.It is shown that the long-lived photon echo response locking effect may be observed even at the angles of the relative orientation of the non-resonant standing wave laser pulses of less than one degree, due to the change in the correlation coefficient of inhomogeneous broadening at time intervals between the first and the second and after the third resonant laser pulses.

The correlation of inhomogeneous broadening and the efficiency of data locking in optical echo processors

L. A. Nefedev, G. I. Khakimzyanova

The formation of responses of stimulated photon echo and the efficiency of data locking under the action of a spatially inhomogeneous electric field on a resonance medium are analyzed. It is shown that the action of a spatially inhomogeneous electric field on a resonance medium between the first and second excitation laser pulses leads to the reversible destruction of the phase memory of the medium, which manifests itself in a change in the time-frequency correlation of inhomogeneous broadening. The possibility of controlling the efficiency of data locking by varying the gradient of an external nonuniform electric field is considered.

The efficiency of suppression of the generation of a photon echo response depending on the mutual spatial orientation of gradients of external nonumform electric fields acting on a resonant medium is studied. The possibility of creating an associative memory where the mutual orientation of the gradients of external electric fields is an associative key is discussed.

Phase memory of the three-level system in the presence of external spatially inhomogeneous electric fields

Э. И. Низамова, Leonid A. Nefediev, G.A. Gilmanova

The increasing interest in the study of the interaction of several resonant fields with multilevel quantum systems is due to a wide range of possible applications of various effects observed in the multi-frequency excitation of quantum objects. Among them, we can note color echo holography, information compression in three-level environments, copying of quantum information, and multi-level quantum gates that perform logical operations. In addition, the recording and reproduction of echo holograms in multi-level systems leads to the possibility, along with logical operations, to perform a change in the real-time scale and the sequence of events in the echo-hologram response, the data on which were embedded into the temporal structure of the object laser pulse. The formation of optical transient processes in multilevel systems occurs when the short laser pulses separated in time and resonant of different frequency transitions at the substance have an effect on the system, so that their interaction with each other becomes possible only through the medium and only if the medium has a sufficiently long phase memory. In this situation, each laser pulse transmits information about its wave characteristics to the medium, and this information is retained here until the arrival of the next laser pulses. The formation of optical transient processes in a multilevel system in a solid depends essentially on the degree of correlation of the inhomogeneous broadening on different frequency transitions and different time intervals, in connection with the possible destruction of the reversible phase memory of the system due to a partial mutual fixation energies of transitions. The influence of external spatially inhomogeneous electric fields on the resonant medium can lead to an additional artificially created inhomogeneous broadening. In this case, it is possible to control the phase memory of the system by changing the parameters of external spatially inhomogeneous electric fields, and the most pronounced effect on phase memory is the case of laser excitation of narrow frequency regions of inhomogeneously broadened lines of the resonance transitions. Moreover, the artificially created inhomogeneous broadening by external spatially inhomogeneous electric fields due to the Stark effect can be comparable with the spread of frequencies due to a partial mutual fixation of the transition energies, which leads to a partial restoration of the coherence of the multilevel system. This effect can lead to an increase in the intensity of the response of the stimulated photon echo (SPE) in the three-level system, which is the opposite effect of photon echo locking.
