Abstract
Coherent population trapping (CPT) in multilevel Raman resonant atomic systems is a fast, efficient process which produces large optical nonlinearities at low laser intensities. These properties are potentially useful in turbulence metrology and adaptive optics, especially for severe turbulence. To illustrate this, three experimentally demonstrated properties of CPT will be described and their possible application will be outlined.
