Coherent transient effects, in CdSSe microcrystallites are observed by
a pump-probe measurement. The probe transmission shows oscillatory st
ructures in the temporal and spectral domains when the probe reaches t
he sample before the pump. This oscillation is attributed to the photo
n echo propagating in the direction of the probe. The A-B splitting of
the valence sublevel in CdSSe microcrystallites hidden in the wide in
homogeneous broadening can be resolved using the polarization dependen
ce of the transitions from A and B valence sublevels to the conduction
sublevel.
