Conversion of phase noise to intensity noise in electromagnetically induced transparency

We report experimental study of laser phase noise to intensity noise conversion in electromagnetically induced transparency. In particular, we studied how various experimental parameters such as one and two-photon detunings and optical depth affect the intensity noise spectrum. Connection between the intensity noise level and the intensity cross correlation between the two EIT fields was also investigated.
