In the present paper, an overview on work concerning coherent population trapping within the hyperfine manifold of the sodium D_{1}-line is given. Besides manifestation of coherent population trapping for different Λ-schemes, also phase dependent processes in closed contour systems (four-level double Λ-schemes) are discussed, including the case of phase dependent electromagnetically induced transparency.
