摘要
Observations of a doubly driven V system probed to a fourth level in an N configuration are reported. A dressed-state analysis is also presented. The expected three-peak spectrum is explored in a cold rubidium sample in a magneto-optic trap. Good agreement is found between the dressed-state theory and the experimental spectra once light shifts and uncoupled absorptions in the rubidium system are taken into account.
