Fidelity of an Optical Memory Based on Stimulated Photon Echoes
Fidelity of an Optical Memory Based on Stimulated Photon Echoes
We investigated the preservation of information encoded into the relative phase and amplitudes of optical pulses during storage and retrieval in an optical memory based on stimulated photon echo. By interfering photon echoes produced in a single-mode $\mathrm{Ti}\mathrm{\text{:}}\mathrm{Er}\mathrm{\text{:}}{\mathrm{LiNbO}}_{3}$ waveguide, we found that decoherence in the medium translates only as loss …
