Popis: We have measured the photon statistics of pump and probe beams after interaction with rubidium atoms in a situation of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT). Both fields present super-poissonian statistics, in agreement with our theoretical treatment. We also show that the measurement of the photon statistics improves the sensitivity for the detection of coherent effects in the atomic medium. Finally, we have measured an intensity correlation between the fields (initially independent) due to their interaction with the atoms.
