Abstract :
A scheme for highly efficient storage and recall of single- and few-photon wave-packets in solid state materials (here inorganic crystals doped with rare-earth ions) is presented. The scheme is supported by experimental data showing that single-photon absorption effects can be observed in these materials and also how the materials can be tailored for the quantum state storage and reconstruction operation using suitably selected excitation pulses.
