Article Description

Two-pulse photon echoes on the 2S122-2P322 transition in lithium vapor are generated using laser excitation pulses with angular separations of 0.70 and 1.40 mrad. The observed degradation of echo intensity with angling of the excitation pulses is in agreement with theory. The largest echoes radiated by the lithium sample contained 109 photons; the smallest echoes detected contained only an average of 0.04 photons. This intensity range of greater than 1010 represents measurements made over more than 15 natural lifetimes of the 2P322 state despite the degradation due to angling. Modulation of the echo signal due to the hyperfine structure of the 2P322 state is also observed. © 1983 The American Physical Society.
