Popis: The absorption spectrum of a probe field upon self-saturation on the transition between levels with angular momenta equal to 1/2 is considered. A new class of nonlinear spectroscopic phenomena caused by the nonlinearity (with respect to the density matrix) of the radiative relaxation matrix is predicted. The relative role of the own spontaneous radiation in the broadening of the combining levels and the line, as well as the dependence of the absorption on the polarization of the probe field, is elucidated.
