摘要: We develop an analytical theory of dark resonances that accounts for the full atomic-level structure, as well all field-induced effects such coherence preparation, optical pumping, ac Stark shifts, and power broadening. The analysis uses a model based on relaxation constants, which assumes total collisional depolarization excited state. A good qualitative agreement with experiments Cs in Ne is obtained.
