Coherent storage of temporally multimode light using a spin-wave atomic frequency comb memory

We report on the coherent and multi-temporal mode storage of light using the full atomic frequency comb memory scheme. The scheme involves the transfer of optical atomic excitations in Pr ^3+ :Y _2 SiO _5 to spin waves in hyperfine levels using strong single-frequency transfer pulses. Using this sch...
