Phase locking of molecular two-level quantum systems: Application to ionic solids

Abstract

Photon locking of optical transitions in molecular systems has been reported recently by Sleva, Xavier, Zewail and Glasbeek. These observations were made on I2 vapor using phase-coherent multiple pulses and photon echo detection. The same pulse sequence to observe locking in ionic solids using optical detection of triplet state spin coherence is applied here. Agreement between theory and experiment is very satisfactory.
