Storage of up-converted telecom photons in a doped crystal

We report on an experiment that demonstrates the frequency up-conversion of telecommunication wavelength single-photon-level pulses to be resonant with a ${{{\rm Pr} }^{3+}}$ : ${{{\rm Y}}_{2}}{\rm Si}{{{\rm O}}_{5}}$ crystal. We convert the telecom photons at $1570\;{\rm nm}$ to $606\;{\rm nm}$ usi...
