Stark shift in Y₂SiO₅:Er³⁺ by the photon echo beating method

Abstract

The coefficient of a linear Stark shift of the 4 F 9/2 -4 I 15/2 transition of Er 3+ ion in Y 2 SiO 5 is measured (14.3 kHzV −1 cm ) by splitting the upper and lower levels of the transition by a pulsed electric field and measuring the splitting frequency from the period of beatings of the temporal form of a photon echo signal (stark photon echo beating method). The linear Stark coefficients of Er 3+ transitions in Y 2 SiO 5 have not been measured before, and this is a valuable result for a number of applications such as gradient echo memory, group velocity control via spectral hole burning, etc.

Incoherent photon echo in 7Li Y F$_4:^{167}$ Er3+

“…The results of our present and previous [3,4] works show that incoherent photon echo can be considered as a promising and convenient tool for the accurate determination of the Hamiltonian parameters in excited states of impurity ions and spectroscopic parameters of the crystal.…”

“…1, and we can use equation (3). The eigenvalues and eigenvectors are calculated using the spin Hamiltonian for 167 Er 3+ ions given in [2]: Theoretical curves calculated for the parameters of the spin Hamiltonian given in [2], the angle between C and H is equal to 3°) and t 12 = 60 ns.…”
