Popis: The simplest three-level system exhibiting electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) exhibits an effective conjugation symmetry as well as a permutation symmetry. Breaking conjugation symmetry leads to a distinct chirp asymmetry; the differential response to a frequency increase versus a frequency decrease. Hanle-Zeeman EIT resonance is an ideal platform for testing the theory of chirp asymmetry because so many optical parameters of the system can be changed experimentally. We describe the theory and compare it to an experiment using 87Rb in a buffer gas cell. In contrast with earlier multi-photon chirp asymmetry work this present effort explores the asymmetry at nearly one billionth the earlier chirp rate, yet displays its universal features. Chirp asymmetry may have metrological consequences for understanding systematic dependence on modulation/demodulation parameters.
