Optical coherence and energy-level properties of a Tm$^{3+}$-doped LiNbO$_{3}$ waveguide at sub-Kelvin temperatures

Posted by klaurent Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Wolfgang Tittel | First 5 Authors: Neil Sinclair, Daniel Oblak, Erhan Saglamyurek, Rufus L. Cone, Charles W. Thiel | Summary: We characterize the optical coherence and energy-level properties of the 795 nm $^3$H$_6$ to $^3$H$_4$ transition of Tm$^{3+}$ in a Ti$^{4+}$:LiNbO$_{3}$ waveguide at temperatures as low as 0.65 K. Coherence properties are measured […]

Kavli Affiliate: T. A. Shutt | First 5 Authors: D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, S. K. Alsum, C. S. Amarasinghe, A. Ames | Summary: Two-phase xenon detectors, such as that at the core of the forthcoming LZ dark matter experiment, use photomultiplier tubes to sense the primary (S1) and secondary (S2) scintillation signals […]
