The EIT Effects and Optical Switch of Tripod-type Four-level Atom System

Abstract
The quantum effects of a tripod-type four-level atom system interacting with three light fileds are studied.Under certain conditions,our calculations show that along with the change of Rabi frequencies of the driving field,the curve of dispersion changes from abnormal chromatic dispersion to normal chromatic dispersion,thus the optical switching effect has appeared.When the parameter is certain,there is a phenomenon of electromagnetic induction transparency in resonance near resonance case.
