The free-induction decay (FID) technique combined with broadly tunable lasers offers a convenient way to survey molecular dephasing times. We measured FID's in molecular iodine by frequency switching an extended-cavity diode laser with a small current modulation. These decay times provide valuable information on the Doppler-free linewidths for frequency-standard applications.
