The quantum wavepacket interference in rare earth ions is observed with dual-channel correlation spectroscopic technique using a femtosecond laser. The measured dephasing time of Eu 3+ ions in Y 2O 3∶Eu 3+ at room temperature is longer than 3 picoseconds, and the quantum wavepacket interference is recorded in the free-induction decay process of Eu 3+ ions. Some systematic errors in the experiments are discussed and the solutions are suggested. Experimental skills are reported.

Eu-doped GaN (GaN:Eu) is a promising solid-state material for quantum information devices owing to its ideal quantum levels. However, a decrease of Eu concentration and the unification of optical sites are required for these devices to access an Eu ion. In this article, the effect of Eu concentration on the optical properties of Mg-codoped GaN:Eu was evaluated. The photoluminescence intensity from Eu ions increased linearly with increasing Eu concentration up to 1 × 1019 cm−3, beyond which the intensity saturated. This resulted from the increase of the sharp luminescence line at 620.5 nm (site A), which has a large excitation cross section, with increasing Eu concentration in the range of low Eu concentrations; an excess Eu concentration leads to the formation of other types of optical sites with a low transfer efficiency or inactive sites. For a low Eu concentration of 3 × 1018 cm−3, all optical sites except a specific optical site corresponding to site A disappeared, and the unification of optical sites was suggested. This result is expected to be valuable to realize quantum information devices.Eu-doped GaN (GaN:Eu) is a promising solid-state material for quantum information devices owing to its ideal quantum levels.

Angular distribution of photoluminescence of trivalent rare earth ions embedded inside three-dimensional opal and inverse opal photonic crystals is experimentally shown to be strongly modulated for the emission frequencies near the first and higher photonic stop-bands. Numerical simulations of fractional density of optical states also predict highly directional emission from photonic crystals with an ideal structure. Experimental results are shown to be in a good agreement with calculated angular dependencies of luminescence. However, better agreement between experimental and theoretical data requires smoothing of calculated dependencies, which can be attributed to the presence of structural imperfections in real photonic crystal samples.Angular distribution of photoluminescence of trivalent rare earth ions embedded inside three-dimensional opal and inverse opal photonic crystals is experimentally shown to be strongly modulated for the emission frequencies near the first and higher photonic stop-bands.
