Abstract

Radiation locking, the optical analogy of spin locking, is observed in the ⁷F₀ ⇔ ⁵D₀ optical transition of KEu(WO₄)₂ using phase-sensitive detection. The relaxation rate of the radiation-locked signal when compared to calculations based on the optical Bloch equations and photon-echo measurements of T₂ was found to be significantly slower than predicted. The relaxation rate of the radiation-locked signal is also compared with rotary-echoes measurements. The inadequacy of the optical Bloch equations to describe the present experiment is similar to observations made using free induction decay in Pr³⁺ : LaF₃ and ruby.
