Multi-level gaseous atomic systems showing electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) phenomenon also exhibit low light intensity nonlinear optical phenomena. This is primarily due to the supression of linear susceptibility for probe during EIT. Therefore under EIT, interactions become appreciable even at very intensities. In particular, Kerr nonlinearity in N irradiated by three fields has been both experimentally and theoretically investigated. this paper, we report an all observation...
