Abstract

Photon echoes have been employed to measure the relative broadening rates of the lithium D lines perturbed by the noble gases. We find that, for each noble-gas perturber, the D1-line and D2-line photon-echo-relaxation rates are identical. Our results are compared with those obtained in line-shape studies of pressure broadening.
