Observation of Multi-Electromagnetically Induced Transparency in V-type Rubidium atoms

Abstract

A detailed experimental investigation and theoretical analysis have been made in the V-type 85Rb atomic medium. Seven induced transparency windows, including a central double-peak-structure, have been observed experimentally when a coupling field and a probe field are applied into the ground and first excited states. By taking into account the hyperfine splitting of the excited state, our theoretical analysis gives good explanation for the observed phenomena.
