Abstract
We describe the transient behavior of an electromagnetically induced transparency in three-level atomic systems. When the coupling field is switched on, the absorption for the probe field is oscillatorily damped to its new steady-state (transparent) value. Transient gain without population inversion and enhancement of dispersion are discussed. A realistic system for experimental testing of these effects is presented.
