Abstract

We show that the AC-Stark shift (light-shift) is a powerful and versatile tool to control the emission of a photon-echo in the context of optical storage. As a proof-of-principle, we demonstrate that the photon-echo efficiency can be fully modulated by applying light-shift control pulses in an erbium-doped solid. The control of the echo emission is attributed to the spatial gradient induced by the light-shift beam.

Fig. 2. Two-pulse photon echo sequence (dashed black line). We apply two strong pulses at

t = 0

and

t_{12} = 35 μs

(clipped by the oscilloscope scale). We observe an echo at

2 t_{12} = 70 μs

. The intensity is normalized so that the echo amplitude is 1. When a light-shift pulse detuned by 1.5 MHz (in solid red) is applied at

t_{12} / 2 = 17.5 μs

, the echo intensity (solid black) is reduced from 100% to 30%. Inset: Reduction of the echo intensity as a function of the light-shift intensity

I_{LS}

(the dashed line is used to guide the eye). Measurement errors are a few percents given by shot-to-shot fluctuations due to the laser jitter (they roughly correspond to the markers size).

Fig. 3. Echo intensity when the light-shift pulse detuning

Δ

is varied (square symbols). The experiment is repeated by varying

Δ

but by keeping

τ / Δ = 2 μs / MHz

constant so

τ

goes from 2 to 6 μs (circles). The dashed lines are used to guide the eye. Measurement errors are again a few percents.

Fig. 4. Light-shift pulses compensation scheme. (a) If two pulses with opposite detunings are applied in region I, the echo intensity is 98% of its initial value. (b) With the same detuning, the effect of the light-shift is cumulative, and the echo is only 6%. When applied in region I and II, respectively, the pulses compensate each other with the same detuning [98% echo intensity in (c)] or add up with opposite detuning [3% echo intensity in (d)]. The light-shift pulses have a

\pm 1.5 - MHz

detuning and a

τ = 3 μs

duration (as in Fig. 2).

Φ_{LS} = \int_{t} \frac{Ω^{2} (t)}{Δ} d t = \sqrt{2 π} \frac{Ω_{LS}^{2}}{Δ} τ,

ϕ (ω, t) = ω (t - 2 t_{12}) - Φ_{LS}^{I} + Φ_{LS}^{II} .

\sum_{ω, R⃗} exp (k . R - k_{in} . R + ϕ (ω, t)),

Φ_{LS} (ω) = \sqrt{2 π} \frac{Ω_{LS}^{2}}{Δ + ω} τ ≃ \sqrt{2 π} \frac{Ω_{LS}^{2}}{Δ} τ - \sqrt{2 π} \frac{Ω_{LS}^{2}}{Δ^{2}} τ ω,
