Abstract
The phenomenon of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in atomic systems— when it is possible to control optical properties of atomic media near one resonance by applying a strong coupling EM field at another frequency—makes it possible to render a highly opaque medium almost transparent, or to dramatically modify the refractive properties of the medium.1 EIT can also be used to take advantage of greatly enhanced optical nonlinearities near atomic resonances but, at the same time, get rid of inherent linear absorption.
