EIT phenomenon for the three-level hydrogen atoms and its application to the era of the cosmological recombination

Abstract

The electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) phenomenon in earlier universe is considered. We evaluated the elementary processes of the single scattering of photon on the hydrogen atom with the purpose of their use in the tasks of the radiation transfer theory. The additional function $f$, which depends on external conditions, is found. This function can be considered as an adjustment of the optical depth that leads to the necessity of modernization of the escape probability $p_{ij}(\tau_S)\rightarrow p_{ij}(\tau_S(1+f))$. The numerical values of $f$ for the different schemes of atom in three-level approximation are given. It is found that the magnitude of function $f$ could influence significantly on the formation of CMB in some partial cases.
