Abstract :
Summary form only given. Quantum coherence effects in atomic media interacting with multiple coherent electromagnetic fields have gained a lot of attention in both theoretical and experimental quantum optics over the last three decades. The absorptive and dispersive properties of coherently prepared media lead. Astonishing effects like electromagnetically induced transparency on extremely narrow dark resonances and recently the reduction of pulse propagation velocities down to Volkswagen speed have been observed.
