摘要
Strong evidence indicating the occurrence of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a solid medium was found. Fluorescence reduction due to Err was observed in solids. The excitation intensity dependence of the fluorescence reduction was found to be consistent with theoretical predictions for EIT. It was experimentally demonstrated that the essential condition for the observation of EIT in solids is that the Rabi frequency of excitation must be larger than the inhomogeneous width of the transition between the two states coupled to the third state by the pair of optical fields.
