Abstract

The dependence of the time of the appearance of a Stark (gradient) echo response on the irreversible transverse relaxation time of a system in the nanosecond range and on the width of the excitation region of an inhomogeneously broadened line has been investigated. It has been shown that the use of nonresonant laser pulses with an artificially created spatial inhomogeneity makes it possible to determine the relaxation time in the nanosecond range from the time of the appearance of a Stark (gradient) echo response, which is a more accurate method than the method of determining the relaxation time from the decay of the intensity by varying time intervals of the exposure to inhomogeneous electromagnetic fields.

Formation of a Stark echo when external nonresonance laser fields with spatial inhomogeneity have various relative orientations

Guzel I. Garnaeva, L. A. Nefedev, Е. Н. Ахмедшина

This paper shows that the response time of a Stark echo can be controlled by varying the relative orientation of inhomogeneous electromagnetic fields. It is found that, if nonresonance laser pulses that are spatially inhomogeneous act on the system, a shift in the appearance time of a Stark echo is observed in the nanosecond range.

Frequency–time correlation of the inhomogeneous broadening of a resonance line and data-locking efficiency in various setups for exciting a stimulated photon echo

E. N. Ahmedshina, Guzel I. Garnaeva, Leonid A. Nefediev +1 more

This paper discusses the data-locking efficiency when data is recorded by means of stimulated-photon echo and the dependence of the frequency–time correlation coefficient of inhomogeneous broadening in various regions of the excitation of an inhomogeneously broadened line. It is shown that the rate of change of the correlation coefficient depends on the region of excitation of the inhomogeneously broadened line, as well as on the gradients of the external spatially inhomogeneous electromagnetic fields.

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.

Fast Sampling of Atomic Velocities by Incoherent Light Stimulated Photon Echoes

M. Defour, J. Keller, J.-L. Le Gouët

It has been recently pointed out that incoherent light can be used to generate coherent optical transients and that there are decided advantages in using such broad-band non-laser source to achieve very high time resolution {1,2}. When a light pulse and its time-delayed replica interact with a sample to produce the non-linear optical response, the ultimate time resolution should identify with the correlation time τC of the light field rather than with the pulse duration τL. The situation where τC ≪ τL is easily obtained with broad-band incoherent light sources. Time resolution in the femtosecond range is then attainable using nanosecond light pulses. This has been recently demonstrated through the observation of the relaxation of photon echoes in Nd3+-doped silicate glass {1,2}. In these cases, attention is focused on the measurement of fast homogeneous decay rates and the inhomogeneous broadening ΩD is assumed to be much larger than the spectral width of the excitation light.
