Abstract
A study is made of time-dependent effects in fluorescent line narrowing. We analyze the ratio where is the intensity of the narrow component and is the intensity of the background. We formulate a theory for based on coupled rate equations, which is applicable when is much greater than the inhomogeneous linewidth. is calculated exactly for an ordered array of optically active ions. In the case of dilute systems the short-time behavior is determined for all values of the concentration. Backtransfer effects are treated in a variety of approximations. Comparison is made with experimental data from , and suggestions are given for further development of the theory.
