Sellars, Matthew J.2025-12-312025-12-319781943580279https://hdl.handle.net/1885/733798218Quantum memories for light are required elements for long-range quantum communication networks. Rare-earth doped crystals are uniquely suited for this application. This tutorial will review the spectroscopy of these centers relating it to quantum storage protocols.enPublisher Copyright: © OSA 2017.Introduction to the spectroscopy of rare-earth doped crystals for quantum communications201710.1364/CLEO_QELS.2017.FW1E.185020657600
