Abstract
We demonstrate the efficient generation of coherent light in a four-level double-cascade atomic medium by continuous-wave low-intensity laser radiation. We derive the corresponding explicit analytical expressions for the generated four-wave mixing (FWM) field. Dependencies of the intensity of the generate FWM field on the propagation distance, on the input-wave intensity, and on the photon detuning are investigated. To conclude, we also give a brief discussion on the experimental realization of the proposed scheme.
