Total fluorescence inhibition via incoherent dressed population transfer

The resonant fluorescence spectrum of three coherently coupled excited stat es to the ground state is evaluated analytically in the strong driving fiel d approximation. One of the three dressed states can be stabilized by quant um interference. We show that it is possible to transfer excited state popu lation from the two decaying dressed states to the nondecaying dressed stat e via an appropriate choice of incoherent pumping processes. This allows al most complete inhibition of the total fluorescence, even in the presence of deleterious spontaneous emission processes.
