Abstract
It is shown that backward‐wave photon echoes may be generated and the echo wave fronts are time reversed with respect to the first pulse of either a two‐ or three‐pulse input sequence. Some comparisons are made with the four‐wave degenerate parametric technique for generating time‐reversed wave fronts.Keywords
