Abstract
We demonstrate a novel variable beam splitter using a tripod-linkage of ato mic states, the physics of which is based on the laser control of the non-a diabatic coupling between two degenerate dark states. This coupling and the splitting ratio is determined by the time delay of the interaction induced by two of the laser beams. (C) 1998 Optical Society of America.
