The polarization dependence of double-resonance optical pumping (DROP) in the ladder-type electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) of the 5S{sub 1/2}-5P{sub 3/2}-5D{sub 5/2} transition of {sup 87}Rb atoms is studied. The transmittance spectra in the 5S{sub 1/2}(F=2)-5P{sub 3/2}(F'=3)-5D{sub 5/2}(F''=2,3,4) transition were observed as caused by EIT, DROP, and saturation effects in the various polarization combinations between the probe and coupling lasers. The features of the double-structure transmittance spectra in the 5S{sub 1/2}(F=2)-5P{sub 3/2}(F'=3)-5D{sub 5/2}(F''=4) cycling transition were attributed to the difference in saturation effect according to the transition routes between the Zeeman sublevels and the EIT according to the two-photon transition probability.
