The interaction with the S–laser, coupling the two unpopulated levels,starts FIRST. Does this make sense ???
The interaction with the P–laser, coupling level 2 to the populated level 1 begins LATER – but a suitable overlap between S and P is needed.

Questions related to the topics discussed in lecture 6
(6.2) What physical mechanism causes electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and what is the connection, if any, between EIT and the Autler-Townes splitting ?
(6.1) Draw the adiabatic state energies for a three-level system g, e, f with e,g = P , P-field detuning = P and e,f = S, S-field detuning = S
for the following conditions: (a) P = 0, S = 0, (b) P = 0, S > 0, (c) P > 0 , S < 0. Also assume that the S-field intensity is constant while the P-pulse is on and P is much larger S than .
