摘要
We report electromagnetically induced transparency for the D1 and D2 lines in Li-6 in both a vapour cell and an atomic beam. Electromagnetically induced transparency is created using copropagating mutually coherent laser beams with a frequency difference equal to the hyperfine ground state splitting of 228.2 MHz. The effects of various optical polarization configurations and applied magnetic fields are investigated. In addition, we apply an optical Ramsey spectroscopy technique which further reduces the observed resonance width.
