Grating spectroscopySpectrum of sunlight produced by a diffraction grating has dark absorption lines due to absorption of the corresponding wavelength by the solar atmosphere. It allows to find out a chemical composition of the solar atmosphere.

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)
Two undistinguishable absorption passes for light result in cancellation of absorption (transparency).An electron has the wave property. It may be in a superposition of states 1 and 1’. Monohromatic light with a frequency resonant either to one or another atomic transition is absorbed.Bichromatic light containing two resonant frequencies goes through.

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)Two undistinguishable absorption passes for light result in cancellation of absorption (transparency).An electron has the wave property. It may be in a superposition of states 1 and 1’. A circular polarized light interacts only with 1-2 (or 1’-2) state and absorbed. A linear polarized light interacts with both 1-2 and 1-2’ states and goes through the medium without absorption. To make medium transparent for light with given circular polarization send through the medium simultaneously light with another circular polarization.
The same is true for two beams of different frequenciesWhen the frequency difference coincides with the frequency of the atomic transition 1-1’.
