Abstract

We predict and observe a new class of echoes of atomic sublevel coherences induced by two impact excitations with resonant light pulses which may be either coherent or incoherent. The Zeeman-sublevel echoes in 3 ²S_{1 2} of sodium were observed by using polarization selective detection technique under the excitation condition that the optical T₂ (5 × 10^-11 s) was much shorter than the pulse width (5 ns). Theoretical analysis also predicts the echoes involving coherence transfer between ground and excited states.
