Abstract
Measurements of optical rotary-echo decay of the R1(-1/2),σ transition of Cr3+ in dilute ruby at 2 K are described and compared with predictions of two recent modifications (Gauss-Markov and random-telegraph models) of the optical Bloch equations (OBE’s). While the modified OBE approximately describes the free-induction decay behavior both in Pr3+:LaF3 and ruby, we show that rotary-echo decay in ruby is instead described by the standard OBE. Various aspects of the spin flip-flop model used in the theories are discussed in regard to ruby, as well as other possible dephasing contributions.
