Abstract

We study the four-wave mixing (FWM) in an opening five-level system with two dressing fields. There are three kinds of doubly dressing mechanisms (parallel cascade, sequential cascade, and nested cascade) in the system for doubly dressed four-wave mixing. These mechanisms reflect different correlations between two dressing fields and different effects of two dressing fields to the FWM. Investigation of these mechanisms is helpful to understand the generated high-order nonlinear optical signal dressed by multi-fields.

Interacting multiwave mixing in a five-level atomic system

Zhiqiang Nie, Huaibin Zheng, Peizhe Li +3 more

We study three (nested, parallel, and sequential cascade) types of schemes for doubly dressed four-wave-mixing processes in an open five-level atomic system. The interaction between two dressing fields of the nested-cascade scheme is strongest and weakest for the parallel-cascade scheme, with the sequential scheme intermediate between them. Mutual-dressing processes and constructive or destructive interference between two coexisting dressed multiwave mixing channels in such a system are also considered. Investigations of these multidressing mechanisms and interactions are very useful to understand and control the generated high-order nonlinear optical signals.

Co-existence of multi-wave mixing in an opening five-level atomic system

Shen Lei-Jian, Yigang Du, Chuangshe Li +6 more

We study the co-existence of multi-wave mixing processes in an open five-level atomic system affected by strong coupling fields. Competition among four-wave mixing （FWM） with two dressing fields, the six-wave mixing （SWM） with one dressing field as well as the eight-wave mixing （EWM） propagating along the same direction can be evoked by adjusting laser beams because these multi-wave mixing signals are induced by atomic coherence between common levels. With the dressing fields properly controlled, the FWM and SWM signals can be suppressed while the EWM signals enhanced in the beam. We also amply analyze the difference between the parallel-cascade and sequentical-cascade doubly dressing mechanisms in doubly-dressed four-wave mixing （DDFWM） processes.

Competition between Dispersion and Absorption of Doubly-Dressed Four-Wave Mixing and Dressed Six-Wave Mixing

Shen Lei-Jian, Chuangshe Li, Yigang Du +6 more

We study the competition between dispersion and absorption of doubly-dressed four-wave mixing (DDFWM) and dressed six-wave mixing. In the case of weak coupling fields limit, we find DDFWM signal is affected by destructive interference between four-wave mixing(FWM) and six-wave mixing as well as constructive interference between FWM and eight-wave mixing. By analysing the difference between two kinds of doubly dressing mechanisms (parallel cascade and nested cascade) in this opening five-level system, we can further understand the generated high-order nonlinear optical signal dressed by multi-fields.

We study the co-existing four-wave mixing (FWM) process with two dressing fields and the six-wave mixing (SWM) process with one dressing field in a five-level system with carefully arranged laser beams.We also show two kinds of doubly dressing mechanisms in the FWM process.FWM and SWM signals propagating along the same direction compete with each other.With the properly controlled dressing fields, the FWM signals can be suppressed, while the SWM signals have been enhanced.

Coexistence of four-wave, six-wave and eight-wave mixing processes in multi-dressed atomic systems

Yanpeng Zhang, Blake Anderson, Min Xiao

Two doubly dressing (parallel and nested processes) schemes are considered which generate co-existing four-wave mixing (FWM), six-wave mixing (SWM) and eight-wave mixing (EWM) processes in an open five-level atomic system. The coherent interaction between two dressing processes in nested type is much stronger than that in parallel type. The singly enhanced SWM and dually enhanced FWM channels can be opened at the same time. Such dramatic enhancements in high-order nonlinear optical processes result from the constructive interactions of double dark resonances. The giant third-, fifth- and seventh-order nonlinear responses with different signs can be obtained by using the coherent phase controls of the polarization beats between the FWM, SWM and EWM signals.

Polarization spectroscopy of dressed four-wave mixing in a three-level atomic system

Ruimin Wang, Yigang Du, Yanpeng Zhang +6 more

Polarization properties of pure four-wave mixing (FWM) and dressed-FWM processes in a two-level system and a cascade three-level atomic system are theoretically and experimentally investigated. The relative intensities and polarization characteristics of the FWM signals in different laser polarization configurations and different level systems are experimentally investigated and compared. Also, the results are theoretically explained by different transition paths combinations. In the dressed-FWM processes, we study the dependence of dressing effect on the incident field's polarization. The FWM signal generated by a linearly polarized pumping field is suppressed more by the dressing field than the one generated by a circularly polarized pumping field. However, an opposite effect was observed when the probe field's polarization is changed. The multidressing mechanisms are used to explain these effects. In addition, the interference and polarization dependence of the coexisting FWM signals in the same atomic system are discussed.
