Electromagnetically induced transparency in an open V-type molecular system
TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental observation of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in an inhomogeneously broadened V-type Na2 molecular system was performed with both co-and counter-propagating arrangements for the propagation directions of the coupling and probe laser beams.

Controllable enhanced dragging of light in ultradispersive media
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss controllable enhanced dragging of light in ultradispersive media, and propose a controllability-enhanced dragging method for ultradimensional media.

The Autler–Townes Effect in Molecules: Observations, Theory, and Applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the Autler-Townes split line shape was used to determine absolute magnitudes of the electronic transition dipole moment matrix elements, which in turn can be used to map out the internuclear distance dependence.

Propagation of 0π pulses in a gas of three-level atoms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors theoretically studied the pulsed regime of electromagnetically induced transparency and showed that even at two-photon resonance, the length of propagation for the Gaussian probe pulses is much smaller than the one for the 0.

Analytical approach on linear and nonlinear pulse propagations in an open Λ-type molecular system with Doppler broadening
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a systematic analytical approach on linear and nonlinear pulse propagations in an open Λ-type molecular system with Doppler broadening and proved that a crossover from electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) to Autler-Townes splitting (ATS) exists for a copropagating configuration of probe and control fields.

Electromagnetically induced transparency : Optics in coherent media
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the atomic dynamics and the optical response of the medium to a continuous-wave laser and show how coherently prepared media can be used to improve frequency conversion in nonlinear optical mixing experiments.

TL;DR: In this paper, a small low-power magnetic sensor based on alkali atoms was constructed, which uses a coherent population trapping resonance to probe the interaction of the atoms' magnetic moment with a magnetic field, and detects changes in the magnetic flux density with a sensitivity of 50pTHz−1∕2 at 10Hz.
