Abstract
Recently, a theoretical calculation has been presented assuming that coherences can be produced in a radiatively assisted inelastic collision. The author reports the observation of final-state coherences in the simple case of dipole-dipole interaction in a strontium-europium mixture illuminated by a pi -polarised laser field. The author has measured the polarisation ratio P of the fluorescence emitted from the final degenerate Zeeman states of strontium. The result P=0.43+or-0.05 is in good agreement with theoretical predictions P=0.45.
