Solid-state Raman quantum memory in whispering gallery mode resonators: signal-to-noise ratio

The possibility of implementation of optical quantum memory via off-resonant Raman absorption and emission of single-photon pulses in rare-earth-ion-doped crystals is theoretically analysed taking into account signal-to-noise ratio at the output of the memory device. The crystal 143Nd3+:Y7LiF4 is co...
