1. Such revivals have been studied extensively in Rydberg atoms (see ref. [2]), in optical parametric oscillators (see ref. [3]), in the Jaynes-Cummings model (see ref. [4]) and also, in a general way, in the temporal behavior of generic transient signals originating from multilevel quantum systems (see ref. [5]).
