Abstract

We have performed a photon echo modulation measurement of the

{}^{1}D_{2} - {}^{3}H_{4}

levels of

\Pr^{3 +}

: La

F_{3}

. This time-domain method yields a precise determination of the

{}^{1}D_{2}

excited-state hyperfine splittings and linewidths. New information on the relative orientation of the principal axes of the excited- and ground-state hyperfine Hamiltonians is presented.
