Abstract
A brief discussion is given of the theory of echo generation in insulators and semiconductors. For semiconductors it is shown that ω, 2ω echo generation may occur without dc-field present. In this case the echo amplitude is directly proportional to the electronic conductivity and the applied fields. Experiments in CdS support the predictions. From measurements on BGO it is concluded that interactions with vacancies which is responsible for strong acoustic attenuation at low temperatures, does not contribute in the echo generation.
