Phys. Rev. Lett. 34, 1299–1302 (1975)Observation of Coherent Transient Birefringence in CS2 VaporReceived 6 January 1975; published in the issue dated 26 May 1975 We have observed short-duration birefringence in CS2 vapor 38 and 76 psec after excitation with a mode-locked (∼ 5 psec duration) 1.06-μm glass: Nd3+ laser pulse. These bursts are attributed to the time evolution of a coherent sum of rotational superposition states. © 1975 The American Physical Society URL:
