| Abstract: | We report the observation of coherent two-photon free-induction decay (FID) in a three-level Λ system excited by a low-intensity square-modulated laser pulse. Using electromagnetically induced transparency in a 85Rb cold atomic cloud, for the first time, we observe FID signals with coherence time exceeding the relevant atomic excited-state natural lifetime. Due to the on-resonance enhancement, the two-photon FID signal can be observed at the falling edge without using heterodyne means. |
