AC Stark effect
[edit]Autler Townes effect is not synonyme for AC Stark effect. Though the two effects occure under compareable conditions they are two different extrema.
Whereas the ATE shows a splitting of the resonance which is a result of Rabi Oscillations, the dynamical Stark effect is usually just a shift of these resonances.
Though these two effects can be treated with the same theoretical approach and might be overlayed in many cases they are not the same. At conditions, where the power of the driving electric field is not strong enough to create Rabi Oscillations (due to the finite coherence time in the material) a AC Stark effect, i.e. a shift of the resonances are observed.
I strongly recomment to either create a new article for the AC Stark effect or add it to maybe the QCSE.
If this idea is supported I would think about writing an own AC Stark effect article.

- I have changed the re-direct for "AC Stark effect," to direct here instead of to Stark effect. My rationale is that there is zero content about the AC Stark effect on the Stark effect page. Whoever wrote the comments above may have a good point. My eventual hope is that an AC Stark effect page would get created, and perhaps the Autler-Townes effect would be a paragraph within this? Here are some pages that Google directs me to when I type in "AC Stark effect":
- Also, as a separate point, a Google war pitting "AC Stark effect" against "Autler-Townes effect" yields 13,800 hits for the former and only 3,600 hits for the latter. It would seem more important to me to have a page on the AC Stark effect than a page on the Autler-Townes effect if we have to choose. Cheers, Csmallw (talk) 16:36, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
EIT and ATS
[edit]I recently wrote in my sandbox for a class I am taking and thought perhaps the information in it would be useful to expand the connection between EIT and ATS. You can find it here. It describes that these two effects can be separated into intensity regimes, at least in certain configurations, with regards to the coupling laser.
I will post a similar note about this in the EIT talk, since it pertains to that as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inaginni (talk • contribs) 21:37, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
