Narrative:
To resolve a traffic conflict between these 2 aircraft, the radar controller issued aircraft #1 a turn to the left. This radar vector subsequently took aircraft #1 approximately 10 NM behind aircraft #2. Both aircraft were in cruise phase of flight at FL410. After passing through the flight path of aircraft #2, the pilot of aircraft #1 queried ATC as to the type of aircraft of #2, and the specific distance aircraft #1 had passed behind aircraft #2. He stated to ATC that his aircraft had received a 'pretty good jolt' from the wake turbulence of aircraft #2.

Narrative: TO RESOLVE A TFC CONFLICT BTWN THESE 2 ACFT, THE RADAR CTLR ISSUED ACFT #1 A TURN TO THE L. THIS RADAR VECTOR SUBSEQUENTLY TOOK ACFT #1 APPROX 10 NM BEHIND ACFT #2. BOTH ACFT WERE IN CRUISE PHASE OF FLT AT FL410. AFTER PASSING THROUGH THE FLT PATH OF ACFT #2, THE PLT OF ACFT #1 QUERIED ATC AS TO THE TYPE OF ACFT OF #2, AND THE SPECIFIC DISTANCE ACFT #1 HAD PASSED BEHIND ACFT #2. HE STATED TO ATC THAT HIS ACFT HAD RECEIVED A 'PRETTY GOOD JOLT' FROM THE WAKE TURB OF ACFT #2.
