Abstract
We measured the Stark coefficient for the H-3(4)(1) --> 1D2(1) transit ion of Pr3+:YAlO3, using the technique of Stark-modulated photon echoe s. This gave a value of 58 kHz/(V cm-1) for the vector difference betw een ground- and excited-state electric dipole moments. The resolution with which Stark shifts could be measured in these experiments was app roximately 500 Hz, which is more than an order of magnitude less than the homogeneous linewidth.
