Two-photon phase conjugation by degenerate four-wave mixing in polar molecules

M. A. Antón, Isabel Gonzalo

Degenerate four-wave mixing is analyzed in the case of a two-photon resonant transition between two levels with permanent dipole moments. A comparison is made with the single-photon transition case, where it is found that permanent dipole moments have no influence. Nevertheless, the difference between the permanent dipole moments of the two levels is relevant in the two-photon transition case; the reflectivity of the phase-conjugate wave increases as this difference increases.

Electromagnetically induced transparency in a Λ-type molecular system with permanent dipole moments revisited

Niharika Singh, Q. V. Lawande, Richard D’Souza +1 more

Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in a molecular three-level Λ system with permanent dipole moments and undergoing m- and n-photon transitions by pump and probe lasers is investigated. Analytical expressions are derived for probe absorption spectrum and dispersion for a medium of stationary as well as thermal molecules. Contrary to the earlier study by Zhou et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 131, 034105 (2009)], we observe no amplification in 2 + 2 photon process when the sign of the difference of the permanent moments of the excited and the ground levels is reversed. Reasons for these contrasting observations are discussed. Our study shows that the permanent moments essentially damp the laser-molecule Rabi frequency to result in narrower EIT line width and larger group velocity index. These effects are further enhanced when the order of the multi-photon process is increased. The importance of the virtual mechanism is discussed by considering the special case of 2 + 1 photon EIT.
