Optical Excitation of Nuclear Spin Coherence in Tm3+:YAG

A thulium-doped crystal is experimentally shown to be an excellent candidate for broadband quantum storage in a solid-state medium. For the first time, nuclear spin coherence is optically excited, detected and characterized in such a crystal. The…

Branching ratio measurement of a "Lambda" system in Tm3+:YAG under magnetic field

A three-level Lambda system in Tm3+ doped YAG crystal is experimentally investigated in the prospect of quantum information processing. Zeeman effect is used to lift the nuclear spin degeneracy of this ion. In a previous paper [de Seze et al. Phys…

Monitoring of Orientation in Molecular Ensemblesby Polarization Sensitive Nonlinear Microscopy

We present high resolution two-photon excitation microscopystudies combining two-photon fluorescence (TPF) and secondharmonic generation (SHG) in order to probe orientationaldistributions of molecular ensembles at room temperature. Adetailed…
