Abstract
The first two successful predictions for amorphous solid experiments by tunneling-two-level-system (TTLS) was phonon echo and saturation phenomena. In this paper by generalizing TTLS to infinite-level-system model with certain randomness and nonlinearity, we prove that phonon echo is a stimulated emission process. The classical infinite-level-system (taking limit) cannot find saturation effect, while quantum infinite-level-system can find it with certain nonlinearity assumed. We also prove that without randomness or nonlinearity neither phonon echo nor saturation exists in arbitrary infinite-level-system.
