Micro-wave assisted transparency in a M-system

Abstract

In this work we theoretically study a five level M-system whose two unpopulated ground states are coupled by a micro-wave (MW) field. The key feature which makes M-systems more efficient in comparison to closed loop Λ\Lambda systems is the absence of MW field induced population transfer even at high intensities of the later. We examine lineshape of probe absorption as a function of its detuning in the presence of both control and MW fields. The MW field facilitates the narrowing of the probe absorption lineshape in M-systems which is in contrast to closed loop Λ\Lambda-systems. Hence this study opens up a new avenue for atom based phase dependent MW magnetometry.
