title: Electromagnetically induced transparency via adiabatic following of the nonabsorbing state.
abstract: It is shown that the adiabatic following of the dark, nonabsorbing state improves significantly the electromagnetically induced transparency performance and slows down the group velocity of the probe pulse. This concept can be used for fast selective gating of one pulse out of a pulse train.
