Abstract
Nonlinear optical generation using electromagnetically induced transpa rency is demonstrated with atomic hydrogen as a test medium. With the application of a strong-coupling laser field to the 3p-2s transition, the resonant Lyman-beta (3p-1s) transition becomes transparent. The ge nerated-sum-frequency Lyman-beta radiation at 103 nm can continue to g row without suffering resonant absorption and phase mismatching.
