Abstract Details

2013, Master of Science, Miami University, Physics.
We investigate electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) in rubidium vapor using a scanning magnetic field co-aligned with the laser propagation direction. Sub-natural line width features appear at zero magnetic field. Criteria for deciding whether to expect EIT or EIA are discussed. Particular attention was given to identification and suppression of spurious signals rising from polarization impurity and residual stray magnetic fields. In the presence of a second strong, coherent laser beam we observed that the EIT signal inverts into an EIA signal. We provide a simple qualitative explanation for this "sign reversal". Our work helps us evolve a clear understanding of the intriguing physics behind coherently prepared atomic media.
