Abstract
Optical dephasing measurements provide a powerful method for studying the dynamics of glasses at low temperatures. At low temperature the disorder in glasses introduces time-dependent processes which have no counterparts in crystalline systems. These processes are responsible for anomalies in specific heat,1 thermal conductivity,2 and dielectric response,3 which have been observed in glasses.
