Abstract
An optical quantum memory protocol has been implemented on the basis of the revival of silenced echo at the telecommunication wavelength for signal light fields with a small number of photons. To this end, a long-lived (>1 s) absorption line has been initialized and the orthogonal geometry of the propagation of the signal and rephasing fields has been chosen. An efficiency of revival of (17 ± 1)% has been reached for the orthogonal polarization components of a signal pulse at a storage time of 60 μs. The input pulse contains ~38 photons on average, the revived echo signal includes ~6 photons, and the signal-to-noise ratio is 1.3.
