Abstract
We report the observation of a new interference phenomenon in photon echo experiments which are performed in an optical fiber. This phenomenon is unique to the guided wave environment and is the result of propagation in an optically thick absorber. The use of optical fibers allows long interaction lengths where the propagation of the excitation pulses as well as the echoes is important.
