Abstract

We present spectral hole-burning measurements of the <superscript>4</superscript>I<subscript>9/2</subscript>→<superscript>4</superscript>F<subscript>3/2</subscript> transition in Nd<superscript>3+</superscript>:YLiF<subscript>4</subscript>. The isotope shifts of Nd<superscript>3+</superscript> can be directly resolved in the optical absorption spectrum. We report atomic frequency comb storage with an echo efficiency of up to 35% and a memory bandwidth of 60 MHz in this material. The interesting properties show the potential of this material for use in both quantum and classical information processing [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
