Persistent Spectral Hole Burning and Optical Properties of Sm²⁺ Doped in Mg_0.5Sr_0.5FCl_0.5Br_0.5 Mixed Crystal

抄録

A Sm²⁺-containing Mg_0.5Sr_0.5FCl_0.5Br_0.5 mixed crystal was synthesized by firing at 1,100°C 2 hours in a reducing stream of hydrogen gas and examined with an X-ray diffractometer for the crystalline structure. We measured the optical properties of Sm²⁺-ion and observed the efficiencies of persistent spectral hole burning depend on hole burning methods at 90 K and 300 K. At 90 K, PSHB was made much more efficiently by using the photon-gated (two color) spectral hole burning process compared to the one color hole burning process, while the one color hole burning process is much more efficient at 300 K.
