Abstract

Interest in lossless nonlinearities has focussed on the the dispersive properties of Λ systems under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). We generalize the lambda system by introducing further degenerate states to realize a `Chain Λ' atom where multiple coupling of the probe field significantly enhances the intensity dependent dispersion without compromising the EIT condition.
