چکیده

We have measured the shape of the Autler–Townes doublet and the peak of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) under plasma conditions. We compare the experimental results with the calculated spectrum of the probe field of a three-level ArII Λ-scheme by taking into account Coulomb collisions. We show that the Coulomb broadening of the EIT peak is small (less than 40%), while the saturation resonance is broadened under the experimental conditions by a factor of 3. In contrast to the saturation resonance attributable to the Bennett dip in the velocity distribution of the population, the EIT peak is a coherent effect and is broadened mainly through Coulomb dephasing. © 2004 MAIK “Nauka/Interperiodica”.

Controlling of Absorption and Dispersion Spectrum via Electromagnetically Induced Transparency

In this paper we examine the absorption and dispersion properties of a weak probe field via Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) in a four-level system. It is shown that under certain condition, using this model, the absorption cancellation is appeared and the medium becomes transparent to the weak probe field. It will be shown that the controlling of absorption and dispersion spectru...

On the possibility of electromagnetically induced transparency in a plasma. I. Infinite plasma

The theory of electromagnetically induced transparency ~EIT! in a plasma @S. E. Harris, Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 5357 ~1996!# is examined in the context of an infinite system. A new dispersion relation is derived which accounts for relativistic effects in an overdense plasma. Several branches of the dispersion relation are plotted and discussed. Particle simulations are used to confirm the findings...

Enhancing electromagnetically-induced transparency in a multilevel broadened medium.

Electromagnetically-induced transparency has become an important tool to control the optical properties of dense media. However, in a broad class of systems, the interplay between inhomogeneous broadening and the existence of several excited levels may lead to a vanishing transparency. Here, by identifying the underlying physical mechanisms resulting in this effect, we show that transparency ca...
