Abstract
A new line-narrowing effect in coincidence interferometry yielding sub natural resolution of atomic transition frequencies is proposed and an alyzed. The approach utilizes second-order photon correlation properti es of the radiation field. This is in contrast to the first-order meas urements associated with time delay spectroscopy, which is known to yi eld subnatural resolution. Connections between the two techniques are investigated.
