Abstract

Dephasing-induced resonances, arising from interference between different excitation pathways, are well-known in frequency-domain spectroscopy.^[1] It is generally thought that the time-domain analog of this phenomena is difficult to achieve due to the explicit time ordering of the interaction fields.^[2,3] In this contribution we report on the observation of time-domain interference in phase-locked stimulated photon echo. We also show how complete control over the interference effect can be exercised.
