Abstract
- With their optical wavelength in the near infrared (790-800nm) and their unique spectroscopic properties at cryogenic temperatures, thulium-doped crystals are at the center of many architectures linked to classical signal processing and quantum information. In this work, we focus on Tm-doped YSO, a compound that was left aside in the mid-1990s due to its rather short optical coherence lifetime. By means of time-resolved hole-burning spectroscopy, we investigate the anisotropic enhanced nuclear Zeeman effect and demonstrate deep, sub-MHz, persistent spectral hole burning under specific magnetic field orientation and magnitude. By estimating the experimental parameters corresponding to a real-scale ultrasound optical tomography setup using Tm:YSO as a spectral filter, we validate Tm:YSO as a promising compound for medical imaging in the human body.<br />Comment: 8 pages, 11 figures
