Abstract

We have investigated the dressed effects of non-degenerate four-wave mixing (NDFWM) and demonstrated a phase-sensitive method of studying the fifth-order nonlinear susceptibility due to atomic coherence in RN-type four-level system. In the presence of a strong coupling field, NDFWM spectrum exhibits Autler–Townes splitting, accompanied by either suppression or enhancement of the NDFWM signal, which is directly related to the competition between the absorption and dispersion contributions. The heterodyne-detected nonlinear absorption and dispersion of six-wave mixing signal in the RN-type system show that the hybrid radiation-matter detuning damping oscillation is in the THz range and can be controlled and modified through the colour-locked correlation of twin noisy fields.

Modified two-photon absorption and dispersion of ultrafast third-order polarization beats via twin noisy driving fields

Yanpeng Zhang, Chenli Gan, Min Xiao

We investigate the color-locked twin-noisy-field correlation effects in third-order nonlinear absorption and dispersion of ultrafast polarization beats. We demonstrate a phase-sensitive method for studying the two-photon nondegenerate four-wave mixing (NDFWM) due to atomic coherence in a multilevel system. The reference signal is another one-photon degenerate four-wave-mixing signal, which propagates along the same optical path as the NDFWM signal. This method is used for studying the phase dispersion of the third-order susceptibility and for the optical heterodyne detection of the NDFWM signal. The third-order nonlinear response can be controlled and modified through the color-locked correlation of twin noisy fields.

Coherent Phase Control of Ultrafast Polarization Beats in Reverse V-Type Three-Level System

Ling Li, Nie Zhi-Qiang, Tong Jiang +5 more

We investigate the third-order nonlinear absorption and dispersion of femto- and atto-second polarization beats between the one-photon degenerate four-wave mixing process and the two-photon nondegenerate four-wave mixing process in the pure homogeneously-broadened reverse V-three-level using twin noisy fields. The third-order nonlinear response can be controlled and modified by the colour-locked correlation of twin noisy fields. Most importantly, the coherent phase control in optical heterodyne detection for studying the phase dispersion of the third-order susceptibility is demonstrated. The radiation-matter detuning oscillation is also considered in the frequency domain.

Two-photon resonant four-wave mixing in a dressed atomic system

Sun Jiang, Zhanchun Zuo, Xin Mi +5 more

We study two-photon resonant nondegenerate four-wave mixing (NFWM) in a dressed cascade four-level system. In the presence of a strong coupling field, the two-photon resonant NFWM spectrum exhibits Autler-Townes splitting, accompanied by either suppression or enhancement of the NFWM signal. Such phenomena are demonstrated in Ba through inducing of atomic coherence between the ground state $6{s}^{2}$ and the doubly excited autoionizing Rydberg state $6pnd$. This technique provides a spectroscopic tool for measuring not only the resonant frequency and dephasing rate but also the transition dipole moment between two highly excited atomic states.

Four-photon resonant nondegenerate eight-wave mixing in a dressed atomic system

Jing Gao, Yu Cui, Xiaohang Li +1 more

We report a four-photon resonant nondegenerate eight-wave mixing (NEWM) in a dresses N-type six-level system. It has advantages that phase match condition is not stringent and NEWM signal is enhanced tremendously due to the multiple resonance with the atomic transition frequencies. In the prenence of a strong coupling field, the four-photon resonant NEWM spectrum exhibits Autler-Townes splitting. Compared to two-photon resonant nondegenerate four-wave mixing and three-photon resonant nondegenerate six-wave mixing in dressed atoms, four-photon resonant NEWM spectrum is more complicated and can provides information about the relaxation of higher-order atomic coherence.

Absorption spectra and enhanced Kerr nonlinearity in a four-level system

Hao-Jie 甫浩杰 Huangfu 皇, Ying-Jie 英杰 Du 杜, Ai-Hua 爱华 Gao 高

In a coherent system, enhanced nonlinearity can be reached via far-detuned coupling fields in the presence of Autler--Townes splitting. We explore the absorption spectra and the Kerr nonlinearity of the coherent system via the interaction between a four-level atomic system and triple fields. We obtain the absorption spectra with double, triple and even quadruple peaks which depend on both the magnitude and the difference of the coupling fields. The Kerr nonlinearity always remains reversely correlated with the absorption spectra. We find that the large coupling detunings can lead to a significant growth of the Kerr nonlinearity and the degenerate four-wave mixing. Both the Kerr nonlinearity and the four-wave mixing can be managed by adjusting the detunings of the coupling fields.
