Abstract :
The effects of level degeneracy on the polarization dependence of photon echoes and of combination tones in gases are compared. A remarkable similarity in behavior is found to exists, with quantitative agreement in the case of several simple transitions. By analogy, the echo behavior for elliptically polarized input pulses is suggested.
