We show that the EIT spectra allow direct optical detection of electric field transients in the gas phase, and we extend measurements of the fine structure splitting of the n d series up to n =96 . Coherent coupling of Rydberg states via EIT could also be used for cross-phase modulation and photon entanglement.
