Description

It is shown that the pump-probe spectroscopy of Λ-type system for the D2 transition of 87Rb exhibits additional absorption enhancement peaks due to velocity selective optical pumping along with the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). The separation of these peaks is consistent with the hyperfine splitting of the upper levels. For 85Rb the peaks are not clearly discernible since the hyperfine splitting is much smaller
