The electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) phenomenon in a four level atomic system with tripod configuration is studied. The results show that this configuration is equivalent to the combination of two single three-level $Λ$ configurations, which, under certain conditions, results in the so-called double-EIT (DEIT) phenomenon. The properties of the double transparency windows for DEIT are discussed in detail and the possible experimental scheme is proposed.The electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) phenomenon in a four level atomic system with tripod configuration is studied.

Multiple Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in a Four-Level Atomic System

Xiangyang Zhang

Using matrix theory,the absorption and dispersion properties of a lamda-type four-level system driven by two coherent fields are investigated.The result obtained by means of numerical method indicates that by adjusting the intensity of Rabi frequencies of the coherent field in the steady state,double or single electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT) can appear explicitly in this system.And the explanations of these phenomena are given by using the dressed states.In the double electromagnetically induced transparency,the location of transparent windows can be manipulated by controlling the detuning of the driving field.Additionally,it is also found that the medium shows a large refractive index at each transparency window,and the group velocity of the probe laser can be enhanced.Using matrix theory,the absorption and dispersion properties of a lamda-type four-level system driven by two coherent fields are investigated.The result obtained by means of numerical method indicates that by adjusting the intensity of Rabi frequencies of the coherent field in the steady state,double or single electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT) can appear explicitly in this system.And the explanations of these phenomena are given by using the dressed states.In the double electromagnetically induced transparency,the location of transparent windows can be manipulated by controlling the detuning of the driving field.Additionally,it is also found that the medium shows a large refractive index at each transparency window,and the group velocity of the probe laser can be enhanced.

Double resonance optical pumping effects in electromagnetically induced transparency

Han Seb Moon, Lim Lee, Jung Bog Kim

We present the double resonance optical pumping (DROP) effect of ladder-type electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in the 5S1/2-5P3/2-5D5/2 transition of 87Rb atoms. When many atoms of the ladder-type atomic system are simultaneously resonant with the two laser fields, the population of one ground state can be optically pumped into another ground state through intermediate states and excited states. In this paper, we reveal that most previous results for the ladder-type EIT include the DROP effect. When the probe laser is very weak and the coupling laser is strong, we can observe the double structure transmittance spectrum, a narrow spectrum due to the EIT and a broad spectrum due to the DROP, in the 5S1/2(F=2)-5P3/2(F'=3)-5D5/2(F"=4) cycling transition.We present the double resonance optical pumping (DROP) effect of ladder-type electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in the 5S1/2-5P3/2-5D5/2 transition of 87Rb atoms.
