Abstract

We study experimentally the effect of diffusion of Rb atoms on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a buffer gas vapour cell. In particular, we find that diffusion of atomic coherence in and out of the laser beam plays a crucial role in determining the EIT resonance lineshape and the stored light lifetime.
