A simple way of observing coherent transient effects in the visible and ultraviolet regions has been developed by Richard G. Brewer and Azriel Z. Genack (IBM Research Laboratory, San Jose). The technique, called “laser frequency switching,” simplifies the observation of a class of coherent phenomena in atoms, molecules and solids, analogous to the wide‐ranging applications of pulsed nuclear‐magnetic‐resonance techniques. The IBM pair reported their results in Phys. Rev. Letters and at the International Tunable Lasers and Applications Conference in Loen, Norway in June.
