Tuning of the Hanle effect from EIT to EIA using spatially separated probe and control beams

Abstract We demonstrate a technique for continuous tuning of the Hanle effect from electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) to electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) by changing the polarization ellipticity of a control beam. In contrast to previous work in this field, we use spatially s...
