Abstract

We report the observation of the electromagnetically induced inhibition of two-photon absorption with atomic sodium vapor as a test medium. A 60% reduction of two-photon resonant absorption was recorded at the $3 S - 4 D$ transition when a cw coupling laser was applied at the $3 P - 5 S$ transition.
