Abstract
transitions at 1083 nm were laser probed in the presence of radiation that coupled the level with the level in a ladder scheme. The metastable helium that was used was produced in a rf discharge. Significant atomic birefringence was detected, in addition to complete electromagnetically induced transparency. A simple theoretical model explains the experimental results.
