Abstract
We report the results of an experiment showing how an opaque atomic transition in neutral Strontium may be rendered transparent to radiation at its resonance frequency. This is accomplished by applying an electromagnetic coupling field (Fig. 1) between the upper state 4d5d1D2 of the transition and another state 4d5p1D2; of the atom. When the Rabi frequency of the coupling field exceeds the inhomogeneous width of the 5s5p1P1–4d5d1D2; transition, the medium becomes transparent on line center.
