Exploring Transparency in Multilevel Atomic Systems

Abstract

In this research project we explored the interaction of multilevel atomic systems with a weak resonant electric field in the presence of a much stronger control field. We present a theoretical study of J=3/2 to 3/2 atomic system with two orthogonally polarized fields. Previously F=1/2 to 1/2 and J=1 to 1 systems have been studied. Both systems exhibit transparency for the weak probe when control field is present, but the transparencies in the two systems differ from each other, and require different interpretations. We tried to explore and compare the transparency in J=3/2 to 3/2 system with the available results.
