摘要
We have observed deeply modulated photon echoes from Pr3+ ions in LaF3 reflecting nuclear hyperfine interactions in both the ground 3H4 and excited 3P0 states. We infer splittings of 0.75 MHz for the 3P0 state. Inhomogeneous broadening of the terminal levels is found to lead to echo modulation damping. A surprising concentration dependence of the photon echo relaxation rate is observed as well as a dramatically long-lived (3 min) stimulated photon echo. © 1979.
