Schematic four-level diagram for an alkali atom [Cs (28), Na (13)] with a two photon resonance. Pumping is allowed for all pairs of photons whose frequencies add up. The power spectrum of the excitation pulse is shown to indicate that different pairs of photons are possible. Interference between the two pathways allows a coherent control of the population transfer.
