Use of an electric-dipole forbidden transition to optically probe the Autler Townes effect

Fernando Ramírez-Martínez, Francisco S. Ponciano-Ojeda, Santiago Hernández-Gómez +7

We study the Autler Townes (AT) effect derived from a strong electric dipole transition stimulated by a resonant laser beam and probing it by means of a weak electric quadrupole tr…
