Photon-echo-based devices have been proposed for many applications in data storage, image processing, and optical communications. Many of these applications would benefit if the output from the photon-echo process could be used as input in a second photon-echo process. We demonstrate the generation of such secondary echoes, using the amplified output from an initial photon-echo process. The amplification is performed with a Pr:ZBLAN fiber amplifier, which gives a gain of more than 300 at 606 nm when pumped with 320 mW of power at 476 nm.

The dynamics of a liquid and its coupling to a solute are crucial for a better understanding of chemical processes in the liquid phase. In isotropic and homogeneous solutions, the time-correlation function of a solute is expected to vanish over time due to the translational and diffusive motions of the solvent. The three-pulse photon echo peak shift (3PEPS) is a third-order nonlinear spectroscopy technique that records the time-correlation function of a solute molecule in a solution, including an offset (inhomogeneity).

Over the last two decades, quantum memories have been intensively studied for potential applications of quantum repeaters in quantum networks. Various protocols have also been developed. To satisfy no noise echoes caused by spontaneous emission processes, a conventional two-pulse photon-echo scheme has been modified.

Here we derive the pulse area theorem for the photon/spin echo signal generated in a one-side cavity. The obtained analytical solutions for primary and secondary echo pulse areas allow us to describe the nonlinear patterns of the photon/spin echo signals in an atomic ensemble in a cavity.

Iron pentacarbonyl is a textbook example of fluxionality. We trap the molecule in cryogenic matrices to study the vibrational dynamics of CO stretching modes involved in the fluxional rearrangement. The infrared spectrum in Ar and N is composed of about ten narrow bands in the spectral range of interest, indicating the population of various lattice sites and a lowering of the molecular symmetry in the trapping sites.

We present a partially linearized method based on spin-mapping for computing both linear and nonlinear optical spectra. As observables are obtained from ensembles of classical trajectories, the approach can be applied to the large condensed-phase systems that undergo photosynthetic light-harvesting processes. In particular, the recently derived spin partially linearized density matrix method has been shown to exhibit superior accuracy in computing population dynamics compared to other related classical-trajectory methods.
