Abstract
We observed electric-field-induced broadening of persistent spectral h oles in the 684 nm zero-phonon line of Sm2+ in berate glass. The avera ge value of the electric-field-induced frequency shifting is <(beta)ov er bar> = (17 +/- 4) MHz cm/kV. The explanation of the results is base d on the statistical distribution of the asymmetries of the matrix cag es. This distribution is essential for those possible applications, in which the independent use of both the electric field and the waveleng th dimensions is necessary.
