“…The most sensitive technique is that of a Starkmodulated photon echo [19][20][21][22], which is best carried out in a centrosymmetric crystal with ions in non-centrosymmetric sites. An applied field E 0 produces a frequency shift O ¼ ðdlE 0 Þ=h.…”

“…It can e.g. be determined by measuring the Stark shift caused by the interaction between the ions and an external electric field [22]. Here we instead implemented a two-pulse photon echo experiment on Pr ions, where Ce ions were excited during the dephasing period of the Pr ions, and the reduction of the echo intensity was observed [18].…”

In this work the inhomogeneous (zero-phonon line) and homogeneous line widths, and one projection of the permanent electric dipole moment change for the Ce 4f-5d transition in Y2SiO5 were measured in order to investigate the possibility for using Ce as a sensor to detect the hyperfine state of a spatially close-lying Pr or Eu ion. The experiments were carried out on Ce doped or Ce-Pr co-doped single Y2SiO5 crystals. The homogeneous line width was measured to be about ∼ 3 MHz, which is essentially limited by the excited state lifetime. Based on the line width measurements, the oscillator strength, absorption cross section and saturation intensity were calculated to be about 9×10 −7 , 5×10 −19 m 2 and 1×10 7 W/m 2 , respectively. One projection of the difference in permanent dipole moment, µCe, between the ground and excited states of the Ce ion was measured as 6.3 × 10 −30 C · m, which is about 26 times as large as that of Pr ions. The measurements done on Ce ions indicate that the Ce ion is a promising candidate to be used as a probe to read out a single qubit ion state for the quantum computing using rare-earth ions.

“…2 (b). The magnitude of δµ/ is about 111.6 kHz/(V cm −1 ) [24]. Since the E field is applied along the b axis and because of the symmetry of δµ, there will be two effective Stark coefficients for Pr 3+ with the same magnitude but opposite signs.…”

In this article, we experimentally demonstrate a new way of controlling the group velocity of an optical pulse by using a combination of spectral hole burning, slow light effect and linear Stark effect in a rare-earth-ion-doped crystal. The group velocity can be changed continuously by a factor of 20 without significant pulse distortion or absorption of the pulse energy. With a similar technique, an optical pulse can also be compressed in time. Theoretical simulations were developed to simulate the group velocity control and the pulse compression processes. The group velocity as well as the pulse reshaping are solely controlled by external voltages which makes it promising in quantum information and quantum communication processes. It is also proposed that the group velocity can be changed even more in an Er doped crystal while at the same time having a transmission band matching the telecommunication wavelength.
