Light storage protocols in Tm:YAG

Abstract: We present two quantum memory protocols for solids: A stopped light approach based on spectral hole burning and the storage in an atomic frequency comb. These procedures are well adapted to the rare-earth ion doped crystals. We carefully clarify the critical steps of both. On one side, we show that the slowing-down due to hole-burning is sufficient to produce a complete mapping of field into the atomic system. On the other side, we explain the storage and retrieval mechanism of the Atomic Frequency Comb protoc… Show more

“…We find in the literature, among others, solutions based on alkaline cold atom ensembles associated with Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) [158] or with the DLCZ protocol [38,94], atomic vapors associated with off-resonant two-photon transitions [159], ion-doped crystals associated with photon echo or atomic frequency combs [47,185], etc. The reader can find very pertinent review papers in this field in [50,51,186].…”

“…Currently, AFC storage has been successfully implemented in several RE doped solids, including Nd 3+ :YVO 4 [13,22], Nd 3+ :Y 2 SiO 5 [16,23,24], Tm 3+ :YAG [17,[25][26][27][28], Pr 3+ :Y 2 SiO 5 [18,[29][30][31][32], Eu 3+ :Y 2 SiO 5 [19,21], Er 3+ :Y 2 SiO 5 [33] and Tm 3+ :LiNbO 3 [14,34]. Nd 3+ ions are of particular interests because they can provide large memory bandwidth and their working wavelengths are around 870 nm, a wavelength region where diode lasers and efficient single photon detectors are available.…”
