First we calculate the dispersion properties, such as susceptibility and group velocity, of the probe light within such an atomic medium under the case of three-photon resonance via the dynamical algebra method of collective atomic excitations. Then we calculate the dispersion of the probe light in the case that two classical control fieMs have the different detunings to the relative atomic transitions. Our results show that in both cases the phenomenon of electromagnetically induced transparency can occur. Especially under the second case, we can find two transparency windows for the probe light.展开更多
