  abstract =     "We present spectral hole-burning measurements on the 879 nm, I-4(9/2) -> F-4(3/2)
                 transition in Nd3+ : YVO4. We observe antiholes in the spectrum along with long
                 lived spectral holes, which demonstrates optical pumping between the ground state
                 Zeeman levels. The spectral holes are narrow (homogeneous linewidth of 63 kHz) at
                 2.1 K with a 300 mT applied magnetic field. We also perform preliminary spectral
                 tailoring in this material by creating a 40 MHz wide transmission window in the
                 inhomogeneous absorption. These results show the potential of the Zeeman levels in
                 Nd doped materials to be used for spectral tailoring for quantum and classical
                 information processing.",
