In the initial part of the paper, the principles of the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in basic three-level schemes are sketched, and some applications of this phenomenon are described. Next a presentation follows of a five-level EIT model of Bloch equations, which was developed to reconstruct multipeak cascade-EIT spectra registered in a sample of cold 85Rb atoms in MOT. The respective experiment is also described. The achieved good agreement between theory and performed experiment is documented and discussed.
