TLDR
In this paper, the phase difference of two laser pairs with equal frequencies was used for the control of spontaneous emission in a four-level system and effects such as extreme spectral narrowing and selective and total cancellation of fluorescence decay were shown as the relative phase is varied.
Abstract
We use the phase difference of two lasers with equal frequencies for the control of spontaneous emission in a four-level system. Effects such as extreme spectral narrowing and selective and total cancellation of fluorescence decay are shown as the relative phase is varied.

Colloquium: Coherently controlled adiabatic passage

TL;DR: In this article, the merging of coherent control and adiabatic passage (AP) is discussed and the type of problems that can be solved using the resulting coherently controlled AP method are discussed.

Subwavelength atom localization via amplitude and phase control of the absorption spectrum-II

TL;DR: In this paper, a scheme for sub-half-wavelength localization of an atom conditioned upon the absorption of a weak probe field at a particular frequency was proposed, where one of the drive fields is a standing-wave field of a cavity.

Atomic phenomena in bichromatic laser fields

TL;DR: A review of work that has been done during the last 10 years on atomic scattering and reaction processes in bichromatic laser fields can be found in this paper, where coherent phase control (CPC) of the atomic process is considered.

Vacuum-Induced Processes in Multilevel Atoms

TL;DR: In this paper, a profound understanding of vacuum-induced processes in multilevel atoms is presented, and a complex interplay of vacuuminduced interatomic and intraatomic dynamics may arise if several multilesvel atoms are considered.
