摘要：
We report observation of coherent transient amplification that is due to free-induction decay and optical nutation in inhomogeneously broadened rubidium atoms by a sudden switch of diode-laser frequency. An amplification coefficient of 2.2 x 10(-2) cm(-1) is observed when the diode-laser frequency, initially tuned to the blue side of the Doppler-broadened absorption profile, is snitched to be out of resonance by application of a step-function pulsed injection current. The transition from free-induction decay to optical nutation is observed and discussed. (C) 1996 Optical Society of America
