Abstract
It has been generally accepted that the off-resonance heterodyne optical field in Stark-switching and frequency-switching techniques does not have any measurable influence in photon-echo and other related experiments. I present theoretical and experimental evidence that, through the generation of a delayed phase mismatch between the excitation and emitted radiation, the heterodyne field produces important undulations in the decay curves of a photon echo.
