We observed quite different spectra for electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) in two cases where the polarizations of the lasers was orthogonally linear and counter-rotating circular, respectively. By using the density matrix equation we were able to try to confirm that the difference between them may result from the spontaneous transfer process occurring between subsystems within the system. The experimental results agree qualitatively well with the simulated spectra in the Doppler-broadened system.
