We report a systematic study of the stimulated-photon-echo relaxation on the $^{3}$ ${\mathit{P}}_{0}$ ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}^{3}$ ${\mathit{H}}_{4}$ transition of ${\mathrm{Pr}}^{3+}$ : ${\mathrm{LaF}}_{3}$ and the $^{3}$ ${\mathit{P}}_{0}$ ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}^{3}$ ${\mathit{H}}_{4}$ and $^{1}$ ${\mathit{D}}_{2}$ ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}^{3}$ ${\mathit{H}}_{4}$ transitions of ${\mathrm{Pr}}^{3+}$ :YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet). The stimulated-echo intensity is measured as a function of the delay between the first and the second pulses and the delay between the second and the third pulses. The stimulated-echo relaxation is modulated by the hyperfine interaction in the ground and the excited electronic states. We find that the modulation patterns can be quite distinct from those for two-pulse photon-echo relaxation and give complementary information about the hyperfine structures. We use the density-matrix theory of stimulated-photon-echo modulation, and the resulting simulation shows satisfactory agreement with the experimental data.We report a systematic study of the stimulated-photon-echo relaxation on the $^{3}$${\mathit{P}}_{0}$${\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}^{3}$${\mathit{H}}_{4}$ transition of ${\mathrm{Pr}}^{3+}$:${\mathrm{LaF}}_{3}$ and the $^{3}$${\mathit{P}}_{0}$${\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}^{3}$${\mathit{H}}_{4}$ and $^{1}$${\mathit{D}}_{2}$${\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}^{3}$${\mathit{H}}_{4}$ transitions of ${\mathrm{Pr}}^{3+}$:YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet).

Stimulated Photon Echo Modulation in Ruby

Shunsuke Nakanishi, O. Tamura, 孝夫村本 +1 more

A stimulated photon echo modulation varying in T (separation between the second and third pulses) due to the superhyperfine interaction between a Cr ion and neighboring Al nuclei has been observed in ruby by using a Stark switching technique. The modulation was observed for a time much longer than T 2 , and much higher resolution was obtained than by two-pulse photon echo experiments. An apparent disagreement between theoretical and experimental modulation patterns was noticed in the region where T > T 2 .A stimulated photon echo modulation varying in T (separation between the second and third pulses) due to the superhyperfine interaction between a Cr ion and neighboring Al nuclei has been observed in ruby by using a Stark switching technique.
