摘要
We observed the transient oscillation in the spectra of electromagnetically induced transparency by rapidly sweeping the probe laser frequency. The spectra were measured with laser-cooled Rb-87 atoms. We show that the amplitude of the transient oscillation decays exponentially at a rate of Omega(c)(2)/2Gamma, where Omega(c) is the Rabi frequency of the coupling laser and Gamma is the spontaneous decay rate of the excited state. Using the transient oscillation, we demonstrate a simple method to determine Omega(c). This method is particularly useful with the low-intensity coupling laser. (C) 2004 Optical Society of America.
