Abstract
The formation of photon echoes is one of the most elegant· nonlinear optical experiments. It proves that dephasing effects are not necessarily irreversible. Photon echo experiments arc, of course, causal: one or more echoes are generated following the application of the excitation pulse-pair. This is true for the simple two-pulse photon echo,1 as well as for three-pulse stimulated echo and for accumulated photon echo.2
