Atomic coherence via modified spontaneous relaxation of driven three-level atoms. Academic Article

abstract

• A strong coherent field drastically modifies the spontaneous decay of three-level atoms when one dynamic Stark sublevel crosses a neighboring atomic state. This leads to an anomalous atomic response yielding maximal coherence, vanishing absorption, and ultralarge index of refraction. 1995 The American Physical Society.
