Cascade emission and four-wave mixing parametric processes in potassium

Thomas Efthimiopoulos, M. E. Movsesyan, M. Katharakis +1 more

Strong stimulated cascade emission and coherent four-wave parametric radiations are observed. By proper observation of the excitation spectra, the cascade emission and the coherent four-wave mixing parametric processes can be identified. The effect of the buffer gas pressure on the intensity and the pulse compression of the emitted radiation were investigated. Cascade inversionless coherent radiation emission with absorption reduction and third order nonlinear susceptibility enhancement due to the presence of a strong internally generated field are discussed for the 4p–4s strong emission observed.

Transient studies of nondegenerate four-wave mixing in a four-level system with saturable absorption and gain

John A. Buck, J. R. Rodriguez

We have investigated a nondegenerate transient four-wave mixing scheme that uses the coupled absorption and emission resonances in a four-level system. Strong frequency-shifted signals can be produced if high initial gain is present. In addition, the medium’s recovery time can be significantly decreased owing to the presence of stimulated emission, which occurs simultaneously with signal generation. Dyes are likely medium candidates.

Parametric four-wave mixing processes in sodium vapor

Yaakov Shevy, M. Rosenbluh

Two types of parametric four-wave mixing are observed when a single intense laser beam propagates through Na vapor near the D(1) and D(2) resonance lines. The first is related to three-photon scattering, while the second results from the coherent parametric interaction of the laser with excited-state Raman scattering. Identification of the two processes was greatly facilitated by the use of an optical multichannel detector system to observe the total emission spectrum for each individual laser pulse. The experimental conditions that determine whether stimulated emission or one or both of the four-wave mixing processes dominates the emission spectrum are described.
