Concentration independence of photon echo lifetimes in Pr3+:LaF3

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Photon echo studies of the concentration dependence of the homogeneous lifetime, T2′, of the 3H43P0 transition of Pr3+ in LaF3 indicate no dependence over the range 0.01 to 1.0 at. %. This shows that multipolar, exchange, and spin-flip effects on T2′ are much smaller than the measured value, T2′ = 515 ± 11 nsec. Also, additional experimental confirmation of earlier theories of echo energy dependence on optical thickness is obtained.
