Electric-field-modulated photon echoes in Pr(3+):YAlO(3).
We measured the Stark coefficient for the (3)H(4)(1) ? (1)D(2)(1) transition of Pr(3+):YAlO(3), using the technique of Stark-modulated photon echoes. This gave a value of 58 kHz/(V cm(-1)) for the vector difference between ground-and excited-state electric dipole moments. The resolution with which Stark shifts could be measured in these experiments was ~500 Hz, which is more than an order of magnitude less than the homogeneous linewidth.
