We construct a solution to the linear complex absorption coefficient f
or the closed Raman-driven four-level symmetrical model. We derive, fr
om this solution, asymptotic expressions for the spectra around and aw
ay from the two-photon resonance in the absence as well as in the pres
ence of the Doppler broadening. They are used for the derivations of a
nalytical conditions and the discussion of the physical origins of var
ious phenomena that do not appear in the traditional two-level system.
