Abstract

We experimentally and theoretically analyze the propagation of weak optical signal pulses under the conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency in hot Rb vapor, and study the effects of resonant four-wave mixing on light storage.

Resonant four-wave mixing with slow light

Hoonsoo Kang, Gessler Hernandez, Yifu Zhu

Electromagnetically induced transparency in a four-level atomic system suppresses the linear susceptibility and enhances the nonlinear susceptibilities, which leads to the resonantly enhanced slow-light four-wave mixing at low light intensities. We report an experimental observation of such resonant four-wave mixing in cold Rb atoms.
