We demonstrate a multiphoton Rydberg dark resonance where asystem is coupled to a Rydberg state. This-type level scheme combines the ability to slow and store light pulses associated with long-lived ground-state superpositions with the strongly interacting character of Rydberg states. For theRydberg state in(withor 44) and a beam size of 1 mm, we observe a resonance linewidth of less than 100 kHz in a room-temperature atomic ensemble limited by transit-time broadening. The resonance is switchable with an electric field of order. Applications in electro-optic switching and photonic phase gates are discussed.
