Atomic coherence effects within the sodium D1 line: Lasing without inversion via population trapping

Edward S. Fry, Xingfu Li, Dmitri E. Nikonov +7 more

Atomic coherence effects within the sodium ${\mathit{D}}_{1}$ line are shown to lead to the suppression of optical pumping, to the switching of light on and off when the coherence effects are turned on and off, and especially to lasing without inversion.
