摘要
The role of hyperfine structure in electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is investigated by studying the 5S(1/2)-5P(3/2)-5D(3/2,5/2) cascade system in Rb-85 and Rb-87. We show that if the hyperfine splitting Delta(hfs) is larger than the Rabi frequency of the coupling beam, Q, then the observed EIT spectra can be modelled by adding terms corresponding to each hyperfine state. However, in the strong-coupling limit, Omega(c) much greater than Delta(hfs), a complete multilevel description is required.
