Abstract

We study the influences of Doppler effect on spontaneously generated coherence in a Rb atom driven by a probe field and two control fields. We show that the propagating directions of the lasers and the wave-vector mismatch have influence on the absorption properties of the atom. By employing the Doppler effect and spontaneous generated coherence, the ultra-narrow lines in probe absorption profile near two-photon resonant position can be obtained.
