Abstract :
Summary form only given. We report here measurements of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a sample of cold trapped Rb/sup 87/ atoms. By using cold atoms, we avoid complications associated with Doppler broadening, which often exist in similar experiments performed with room-temperature vapors. The measurements were made on an 2mm-diameter sample of -10/sup 8/ laser-cooled Rb/sup 87/ atoms collected in a standard magnetooptic trap.
