The experiment is carried out using the Atomic Frequency Comb (AFC) technique in a praseodymium-doped crystal ($0.05%Pr^{3+}:Y_2SiO_5$) and the cavity is created by reflection coating the crystal surfaces. The AFC technique has previously by far demonstrated the highest multi-mode capacity of all quantum memory concepts tested experimentally. We claim that the present work shows that it is realistic to create efficient, on-demand, long storage time AFC memories.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-01-03T21:47:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "42.50.Ct", "03.67.Hk", "42.50.Gy", "42.50.Md" ], "keywords": [ "efficient quantum memory", "weakly absorbing sample", "long storage time afc memories", "memory concepts", "atomic frequency comb" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2013, "month": "Mar", "volume": 110, "number": 13, "pages": 133604 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013PhRvL.110m3604S" } } }
