Abstract
The billiard-ball model (BBM) is redeveloped to allow quantitative dia grammatic evaluation of signal parameters associated with optical cohe rent transient experiments. It is expanded to include the action of ex ternal forces and fields as well as to include atomic-beam-type experi ments. Matter-wave interferometric experiments are examined in the con text of the BBM and their relationship to photon-echo experiments is e xplored.
