摘要：
We present a proof-of-principle experiment in which the population of an atomic level is spatially localized using the technique of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). The key idea is to utilize the sensitive dependence of the dark state of EIT on the intensity of the coupling laser beam. By using a sinusoidal intensity variation (standing wave), we demonstrate that the population of a specific hyperfine level can be localized much more tightly than the spatial period.
