Abstract
We investigate a four-level system in the -doped yttrium aluminum garnet crystal that can produce an absorption or gain doublet in the probe absorption spectrum when driven by a coherent field and incoherent pumping. It is found that the transparent linear positive or negative dispersion can occur between the doublet lines. We show that the group index of a probe pulse can be manipulated when we control the incoherent pumping and the coherent field.
