Abstract

The collisional relaxation of photon echoes generated on the 6S built1 2 - 7P built3 2 (455 nm) transition in caesium has been observed and measured as a function of perturber pressure. Values for the collision cross-sections have been obtained using helium, neon, argon and krypton as perturbers. There is good agreement between these results and those obtained from high resolution measurements of pressure-broadened line profiles. The echoes were observed using the polarization rotation technique and all the measurements were made at perturber pressures below 0.5 torr.
