Abstract
The free-induction decay (FID) technique combined with broadly tunable lasers offers a convenient way to survey molecular dephasing times. W e measured FID's in molecular iodine by frequency switching an extende d-cavity diode laser with a small current modulation. These decay time s provide valuable information on the Doppler-free linewidths for freq uency-standard applications. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America
