Abstract
Two photon absorption is considered in the context of second order coh erence measurements. We examine second order interference fringes for the typical Doppler free spectroscopic layout which involves a retrore flecting mirror. The fringes are manifested in the wings of the absorp tion spectrum and their observability requires partial decoherence of the exciting laser light.
