  • Abstract
    In this contribution, we report on what is believed to be the first experimental demonstration of photon echoes in an amplifying rare-earth ion-doped crystal and highlighted the advantages of the process. It considerably improves the diffraction efficiency and the echo power in single shot, up to a factor 3 in our relatively low optical density sample.
