Abstract
A new type of experiment is proposed to study optical nutation and free induction decay in a Doppler-broadened transition, by observing the transmission of a weak probe field resonating at a coupled transition. These techniques open new possibilities for direct detailed observations of relaxation phenomena and effects of velocity dephasing in gases, and provide an experimental method for separately studying the effects of population saturation and Raman-type processes in three level systemsKeywords
