N2 - We present theoretical results of coherent-population-trapping transients induced by a modulated transverse magnetic field (TMF). The application of a transverse magnetic field causes the appearance of new Λ subsystems, creation of new dark states, and rearrangement of the population among the Zeeman sublevels. We show that transients appear as the system is switched between steady-state situations, and we identify the various level system components of the total probe absorption. We discuss the time-dependent evolution of the probe absorption caused by the modulated TMF in the presence and absence of a constant longitudinal magnetic field (LMF). The differences between TMF modulation and LMF modulation are discussed.
