High-resolution four-wave light-mixing studies of collision-induced coherence in Na vapor

Lewis J. Rothberg, N. Bloembergen

Near-resonant four-wave light mixing in Na vapor with inert buffer gases reveals collision-induced coherences when the difference frequency between two incident light beams equals the hyperfine splitting or the Zeeman splitting between two states of the $3^{2}S$ ground-state manifold. The Doppler broadening of the corresponding resonances decreases with increasing buffer-gas pressure. The width of the resonances becomes significantly narrower than the spontaneous linewidth of the near-resonant intermediate state and is determined by spin-exchange collisions between ground-state atoms. The dependence of the intensity of these collision-induced resonances on buffer-gas pressure and detuning from one-photon resonances is measured. Selection rules for various polarizations of the incident light fields and directions of an externally applied magnetic field are established.

Observation of Collision-Induced Subnatural Zeeman-Coherence Linewidths in the Doppler Limit

Jenny Lam, Duncan G. Steel, R. A. McFarlane

We report the observation of the subnatural linewidth of Zeeman coherences in the presence of buffer gases by use of polarization-nearly-degenerate four-wave mixing. The origin of the ultranarrow linewidth is attributed to the nonlinear response of the ground state of the resonant system.

Near-resonant four-wave light mixing in Na vapor with inert buffer gases reveals collision-induced coherences when the difference frequency between two incident light beams equals the hyperfine splitting or the Zeeman splitting between two states of the 32S3^{2}S32S ground-state manifold. The Doppler broadening of the corresponding resonances decreases with increasing buffer-gas pressure. The width of the resonances becomes significantly narrower than the spontaneous linewidth of the near-resonant intermediate state and is determined by spin-exchange collisions between ground-state atoms. The dependence of the intensity of these collision-induced resonances on buffer-gas pressure and detuning from one-photon resonances is measured.
