    • Coherent excitation, incoherent excitation, and adiabatic states 

      Grischkowsky, D. (American Physical Society, 1976-08)
      Coherent excitation of an atomic excited state occurs during the propagation of near-resonant light pulses and is responsible for the induced polarization. Simultaneously, incoherent excitation occurs due to the relaxation ...
    • Self-induced adiabatic rapid passage 

      Grischkowsky, D.; Loy, M. M. T. (American Physical Society, 1975-09)
      We show that, by virtue of the linewidth reduction provided by counter-propagating beams, it is possible to use the optical Stark shift to sweep a two-photon resonance through the sum frequency of the applied light while ...
