Book Description
This thesis presents a spectroscopic study of Pr3+ ions in a novel passive waveguide architecture. To make this structure, the high refractive glass TeO2 was selected as the thin film and it was deposited on a Pr3+:Y2SiO5 crystal. In this waveguide, the 3H4 to 1D2 transition of Pr3+ ions were probed by the optical evanescent field extending into the substrate. The main concern in assessing the suitability of this material for quantum information applications was ensuring that the coherence properties of rare-earth ions, making them suitable for quantum information purposes, are preserved in this architecture. After which, to make low loss devices with these waveguides, efficient coupling techniques had to be developed. To prove that the coherence properties of the rare-earth ion doped crystal were preserved, the critical parameters of inhomogeneous linewidth, the absorption of the ions, the coherence time and spin lifetimes of the Pr3+ ions were studied. The inhomogeneous linewidth of evanescent coupled ions was about 10.0 GHz, which was consistent with the linewidth of bulk samples with the same Pr3+ doping concentration (Hedges, 2011). The absorption due to the evanescent coupling was 9.38 dB, approximately 90% of what was expected with respect to the bulk crystal with the same doping concentration. Therefore, despite using the evanescent field, the absorption is high enough for quantum memory applications. An optical coherence time of about 121 microseconds was measured, which corresponded to a homogeneous linewidth of about 2.6 kHz. This is very close to bulk sample measurements of 111 microseconds, with the same temperature and doping concentration (R. W. Equall, 1995). The spin state lifetime observed was about 9.8 s, which is also very close to the bulk sample measurement of 8.67 s (Mieth, 2016). Initial Stark shifting experiments were performed to determine whether the active ions in the substrate of the passive waveguides could be electrically controlled by applying a small voltage to electrodes on the thin film. In these experiments with a voltage change of 100 mV, the measured holewidth broadening was increasing about 0.55 MHz, which was similar to the calculated values of 0.45 MHz. The Stark coefficient for site 1 was 51.6 kHzcm/V along the D2 axis of the crystal (site 1 will be explained in Section 4.3). (F.R. Graf, 1997). Prism coupling and grating coupling were used to couple light to the ions in the substrate. Prism coupling is an easy and quick method to couple light into a waveguide and observe the properties of the system. However, grating coupling is much more practical when moving towards building a device using this method. The measurements described above indicated that the properties of ions interacting with the evanescent tail of the waveguide mode were consistent with those of bulk ions. This investigation also showed that depositing a glass thin film on a rare-earth ion doped crystal was not affecting the good coherence properties of the substrate. These results establish the foundation for large, integrated, controllable and high performance rare earth ion quantum waveguide systems.

Book Description
The Eighth Rochester Conference on Coherence and Quantum Optics was held on the campus of the University of Rochester during the period June 13-16,2001. This volume contains the proceedings of the meeting. The meeting was preceded by an affiliated conference, the International Conference on Quantum Information, with some overlapping sessions on June 13. The proceedings of the affiliated conference will be published separately by the Optical Society of America. A few papers that were presented in common plenary sessions of the two conferences will be published in both proceedings volumes. More than 268 scientists from 28 countries participated in the week long discussions and presentations. This Conference differed from the previous seven in the CQO series in several ways, the most important of which was the absence of Leonard Mandel. Professor Mandel died a few months before the conference. A special memorial symposium in his honor was held at the end of the conference. The presentations from that symposium are included in this proceedings volume. An innovation, that we believe made an important contribution to the conference, was the inclusion of a series of invited lectures chaired by CQO founder Emil Wolf, reviewing the history of the fields of coherence and quantum optics before about 1970. These were given by three prominent participants in the development of the field, C. Cohen-Tannoudji, 1. F. Clauser, and R. I. Glauber.
