Abstract
We use spectral hole burning in Pr3+:Y2SiO5 in order to prepare spectral distributions of ions optimized for using such a material as a quantum memory for photon states. Our spectral hole-burning implementations include preparing an ensemble of ions to be the basis for an ensemble-based quantum memory as well as tailoring the spectral profile of the material for use as a narrow spectral filter. We develop a simple theoretical model of spectral hole-burning that can be applied to a wide variety of inhomogeneously broadened solids. Finally, we use our model to perform a computational optimization of part of our hole-burning state preparation sequenceCitation
