摘要
Various three-level schemes for electromagnetic-field-induced control of absorption are analyzed to isolate the precise nature of the quantum interference. Such interference manifests through the dispersive contributions to the absorption line shapes. Depending: on the excitation scheme, the dispersive terms can be either constructive or destructive. The collisional dephasing in some cases-can change the nature of interference.
