Complex sentence: In contrast to CPT, which happens once the system reaches steady state, STIRAP can be used in microscopy to achieve resolutions better then the diffraction limit, and when used for microscopy is called subwavelength localizaion via adiabatic passage (SLAP).
Split into simpler sentences: In contrast to CPT, STIRAP can be used in microscopy to achieve resolutions better then the diffraction limit, and not rely on the system reaching steady state. When used for microscopy is called subwavelength localizaion via adiabatic passage (SLAP).
