摘要
Two-photon persistent hole burning is observed at T = 296 K in 5D1-7F0 and 5D0-7F0 transitions of Sm2+ ions in substitutionally disordered SrFCl1/2Br1/2 single crystals, showing the ratio of inhomogeneous to homogeneous linewidth of 20 divided-by 25. The minimum hole widths of 3.5 cm-1 and 2.6 cm-1, respectively, were determined for these transitions. In fact, the applicability of persistent spectral hole burning, known as a low-temperature high-resolution spectroscopic method and a potential basis for the use of a new-spectral-dimension in optical data storage and processing, is demonstrated for the first time at room temperature in inorganic materials.
