Chirped excitation of optically-dense inhomogeneously broadened media using Eu3+:Y2SiO5

Abstract

Novel pump-probe experiments provide practical, sensitive diagnostics of media inversion by linearly chirped optical pulses. Maxwell-Bloch simulations and Landau-Zener calculations support the experiments and provide a general prescription for inversion of hole-burning media by chirps.
