Abstract
In this paper, the origin of molecular optical coherence is discussed. Special emphasis is given to the detection of this optical coherence in gases and solids using emission spectroscopy. Finally, we briefly discuss a theory for dephasing in condensed phases that relates optical T_1 and T_2 to molecular processes.
