Abstract: He-4 2 S-3(1)–>2(3)P transitions at 1083 nm were laser probed in the presence of radiation that coupled the 2(3)P level with the 3(3)S(1) level in a ladder scheme. The metastable helium that was used was produced in a rf discharge. Significant atomic birefringence was detected, in addition to complete electromagnetically induced transparency. A simple theoretical model explains the experimental results. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.
