We work out a simple, pulsed pump-probe measurement scheme to measure the homogeneous linewidth of an atomic transition in an inhomogeneously broadened spectral line in a solid state environment. We apply the theory to the I_11/2 -- I_15/2 optical transition of erbium in LiNbO_3:Er^3+ crystal. Beside obtaining the homogeneous linewidth, we have estimated the population relaxation time as well.

Isotope shifts of the 2$p_{3/2}$-2$p_{1/2}$ transition in B-like ions are evaluated for a wide range of the nuclear charge number: Z=8-92. The calculations of the relativistic nuclear recoil and nuclear size effects are performed using a large scale
configuration-interaction Dirac-Fock-Sturm method. The corresponding QED corrections are also taken into account. The results of the calculations are compared with the theoretical values obtained with other methods. The accuracy of the isotope shifts of the 2$p_{3/2}$-2$p_{1/2}$ transition in B-like ions is significantly improved.
Laser spectroscopy of short-lived radium isotopes in a linear Paul trap has been performed. The isotope shifts of the $6d,^2$D$_{3/2},$ - $7p,^2$P$_{1/2},$ transition in $^{209-214}$Ra$^+$ were measured, which are sensitive to the short range part of
the atomic wavefunctions. The results are essential experimental input for improving the precision of atomic structure calculation. This is indispensable for parity violation in Ra$^+$ aiming at the determination of the weak mixing angle.
We present the detection of the highly forbidden $2^{3!}S_1 rightarrow 3^{3!}S_1$ atomic transition in helium, the weakest transition observed in any neutral atom. Our measurements of the transition frequency, upper state lifetime, and transition str
ength agree well with published theoretical values, and can lead to tests of both QED contributions and different QED frameworks. To measure such a weak transition, we developed two methods using ultracold metastable ($2^{3!}S_1$) helium atoms: low background direct detection of excited then decayed atoms for sensitive measurement of the transition frequency and lifetime; and a pulsed atom laser heating measurement for determining the transition strength. These methods could possibly be applied to other atoms, providing new tools in the search for ultra-weak transitions and precision metrology.
A semi-empirical method is used to characterize the 3s(2)3p(2)-3s3p(3) J=2 transition array in P II. In this method, Slater, spin-orbit, and radial parameters are fitted to experimental energy levels in order to obtain a description of the array in t
erms of LS-coupling basis vectors. The various IC and CI amplitudes resulting from this model are then used to predict the branching fractions of transitions within the array. Results close to LS-coupling values are presented, and these are compared to branching ratios measured using beam-foil spectroscopy at the THIA laboratory. The work provides support for the hypothesis of Dr. Curtis that transition arrays with little upper state IC but significant upper state CI in atoms of low Z exhibit branching fractions close to LS-coupled values, although the data are inconclusive in this respect.
We studied the optical properties of a resonantly excited trivalent Er ensemble in Si accessed via in situ single photon detection. A novel approach which avoids nanofabrication on the sample is introduced, resulting in a highly efficient detection o
f 70 excitation frequencies, of which 63 resonances have not been observed in literature. The center frequencies and optical lifetimes of all resonances have been extracted, showing that 5% of the resonances are within 1 GHz of our electrically detected resonances and that the optical lifetimes range from 0.5 ms up to 1.5 ms. We observed inhomogeneous broadening of less than 400 MHz and an upper bound on the homogeneous linewidth of 1.4 MHz and 0.75 MHz for two separate resonances, which is a reduction of more than an order of magnitude observed to date. These narrow optical transition properties show that Er in Si is an excellent candidate for future quantum information and communication applications.
