The correlation between the isochromatic curves of an inhomogeneously broadened line over different time intervals in spatially inhomogeneous external electric fields is studied. It is shown that the efficiency with which the stimulated photon echo is locked for different schemes of excitation of the resonance transition depends on the gradients of the spatially inhomogeneous external electric fields and on the width of the excitation region for the inhomogeneously broadened line.
