Multi-photon EIT

ORAL

Abstract

We describe and solve a quantum optics models for multiphoton interrogation of an electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) resonance. Multiphoton EIT, like its well studied Lambda-system EIT progenitor, is a generalization of the N-resonance process recently studied for atomic time keeping. The solution of these models allows a preliminary determination of this processes utility as the basis of a frequency standard.
