Abstract:
We report the experimental observation of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a Doppler broadened rubidium vapour
at room temperature for different probe intensities at a fixed pump intensity in a five-level Λ-type system formed by the
D2 transition of 85Rb. For a constant pump intensity, we find that the EIT width and height change with the variation of probe intensity. We
observe a nonlinear variation of the height of the EIT peak and a linear variation of the width (FWHM) of the EIT signal with
probe intensity. In the Doppler broadened multilevel system, we also observe the velocity selective dips along with the EIT
signal. A numerical simulation of the probe response signal based on density matrix representation in a five-level system
is carried out to reproduce the experimentally observed spectra.
