Abstract
Semiclassical radiation theory is used to describe the response of an assemblage of two-state molecules driven by an electromagnetic field. When the field is suddenly removed, the assemblage does not immediately become quiescent; it continues to radiate in diminishing amount. This coherent molecular-ringing radiation persists until the molecular populations return to the values they had at the beginning of the driving pulse. Depending upon the strength and duration of the driving pulse, the ringing radiation may exhibit a delayed peak.
