Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 1789–1792 (1994)Piezophotonic Switching Due to Local Field Effects in a Coherently Prepared Medium of Three-Level AtomsSee Also: Erratum Received 24 January 1994; published in the issue dated 26 September 1994 We study the effect of near dipole-dipole interactions on the electric susceptibility of a coherently prepared three-level Λ system. We discuss the influence of atomic nonlinearities on the recently predicted enhancement of the absorptionless index of refraction and inversionless gain due to local field effects [J.P. Dowling and C.M. Bowden, Phys. Rev. Lett. 70 1421 (1993)] and predict a density dependent, or piezophotonic, switching between absorption and amplification. © 1994 The American Physical Society URL:
