Additional one-photon coherence-induced transparency in a Doppler-broadened V-type system

We illustrate an alternate mechanism which causes probe transparency in a Doppler-broadened V-type system. Our numerical results obtained for very low control field amplitudes clearly indicate the feasibility of attaining nearly perfect probe transparency that originates from an additional one-photon coherence induced by the control field in a Doppler-broadened V-type system. In this regime of control field amplitudes, the criterion for electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) is not fulfilled and hence the contribution of the usual EIT term is found to be negligible.
