Collisionally Induced Narrowing of the Longitudinal Relaxation Linewidth in Nearly Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing

Jenny Lam, Duncan G. Steel, R. A. McFarlane

This paper reports the observation of collisionally induced spectral narrowing of the longitudinal relaxation linewidth with use of the nearly degenerate four-wave mixing process. A theoretical model, which takes into account strong velocity-changing collisions for the population and phase-interrupting collisions for the optical coherence, leads to a good qualitative understanding of this new effect.
