We performed pulse-shaping and time-reversal experiments using spectral holography based on persistent spectral hole burning in free-base naphthalocyanine-doped films. We demonstrate that we can control the pulses diffracted from the hologram by shaping and then by characterizing these pulses in both amplitude and phase. A dephasing time of 29 ps (i.e., a homogeneous linewidth of 69 GHz) was measured from a photon-echo experiment in the chemically accumulated regime.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
