Abstract

We propose a new scheme for generating new structured beams via spatially dependent transparency in a three-level atomic system. Due to the joint quantum interference induced by Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) field and constant coupling field, we can achieve different spatially dependent beams by measuring the probe absorption intensity profiles. The proposed scheme may provide potential applications in optics and novel quantum technologies.
