Wedemonstrated coupling of rare-earth-metal ions in a crystal to amacroscopic cavity mode by observing optical bistability and normal-mode peaksdue to sweeping-laser-induced population redistribution of the ions. The experimentallyevaluated coupling constant between the individual ions and the singlecavity mode is 15 kHz, which is comparable with or largerthan the dissipation of the ions and will exceed thecavity dissipation with a narrowing of the mode waist ofthe cavity to the wavelength. The results advance the applicationof a coupled system of rare-earth-metal ions in a crystaland an optical cavity for quantum information processing.
