We demonstrate a novel approach to obtain a resonance linewidth below the transit limit. The cross correlation between the induced intensity modulation of two lasers coupling the target resonance exhibits a narrow spectrum. 1/30 of the transit-limited width is achieved in a proof-of-principle experiment where two ground states are the target resonance levels. Attainable linewidth is only limited by laser shot noise in principle. The experimental results qualitatively agree with an intuitive analytical model and numerical calculations. This technique can be easily implemented and should be applicable to many atomic, molecular, and solid state spin systems for spectroscopy, metrology, and resonance-based sensing and imaging.
