Abstract
The Autler—Townes effect is considered for the case where a strong control field acts in the frequency profile of a hyperfine transition taking into account the hyperfine interaction. An exact expression is derived for the susceptibility of the medium with respect to a probe field that acts in the frequency profile of a coupled transition of the alkaliatom D1 line. It is shown that the hyperfine interaction in the excited state may substantially modify the susceptibility of the medium. In particular, it is shown that, when the control field is tuned to wings of atomic transitions, the structure of the Autler—Townes resonances appears to be noticeably differing from what is predicted by the Λ-scheme approximation. It is found that tuning of the control field frequency to between hyperfine components of the excited state enhances the resonant structure in this region. The results are discussed in terms of the quantum memory protocols based on the effects of Raman scattering and electromagnetically induced transparency.
