	abstract = {A novel coherent transient effect is observed following a rapid shift in the relative phase of an exciting laser and sample polarization. An analytical expression is derived for the signal which is a sum of exponentially decaying terms with characteristic times involving both\&nbsp;T1\&nbsp;and\&nbsp;T2. Phase switching is a powerful approach to the study of optical relaxation and is applied here to measure dephasing in LaCl3:\&nbsp;Pr3+.},
