Abstract

We point out in this paper that when one increases the intensity of the second applied pulse or the time interval between the two pulses, the amplitude of the first echo saturates and multiple echoes of comparable amplitude appear. Moreover, we predict a damping of the echoes which is due to a phase mixing effect; that is collisionless.
