What is Spectral Diffusion? Changes in an atom’s or ion’s transition frequency as a function of time Accumulated frequency shifts cause the ions to “random walk” in frequency space Causes spectral “broadening” of material Spectrum Lab Montana State University

Measuring Spectral Diffusion Use theoretical descriptions of spectral diffusion for the specific setup (as in example) to fit echo intensity data to find eff Then, variations in other parameters (concentration of rare-earth ions, temperature, external magnetic field, etc. ) can be used to find parameters SD and R from eff Why measure it? ◦ Corrections for other measurements ◦ Characterizes material Spectrum Lab Montana State University

Reducing Spectral Diffusion For rare-earth-doped materials with paramagnetic ions, ◦ ◦ Lower temperature of system Increase magnetic field (prevents dipole flips) Reduce concentration of ions in crystal For three-pulse echo systems, decrease Tw and/or t 12 Similar approaches for other systems and pulse configurations Spectrum Lab Montana State University
