  5. 1. Introduction 1.2 EIT What is EIT？ Energy level • When a weak and width probed pulse is injected into two-level atomic medium, the light field will be absorbed by the atomic system, that is, the medium is not transparency. • Self induced transparency: when a stronger and shorter pulse injecting into two-level medium. the field can be passed without any absorption. [MacCall & Hahn, 1967] EIT If add another stronger control field that effect the quantum interference between two paths, inhibiting the absorption of probe field by medium. [Kocharovskaya，Harris] Why do the EIT being important？ Changing the dispersion relationship, the absorption and group velocity Enhanced the Kerr nonlinearity
