Intense near-degenerate four-wave mixing signals on either side of the exciting laser spectrum are controlled by amplitude and phase shaping. Quantitative signal modeling for the input pulse parameters shows a spectrally flat phase response of the near-degenerate four-wave mixing due to the linear dispersion of the massless Dirac Fermions in ...
We present a theoretical calculation and experimental data on the effective third‐order susceptibilities χ (3) for degenerate four‐wave mixing near the band gap of semiconductors. The closeness of the calculated and experimental values for the effective χ (3) in silicon at 1.06 μm indicates the utility of our simple calculation. The large values of …

Here we report a multiphoton microscopy based on single-beam near-degenerate four wave mixing (ND-FWM), by detecting a coherent signal generated by the sample at frequencies close to the "edge" of the spectrally "truncated" incident femtosecond pulses. ND-FWM microscopy allows label-free biomedical imaging with high sensitivity and ...
Degenerate four-wave mixing in sodium vapor is investigated using a flashlamp-pumped dye laser synchronized on a cw dye laser. At low atomic density, the reflectivity versus the pump intensity and the line shapes are in good agreement with theoretical predictions in the case of both plane waves and Gaussian beams. At high atomic density, reflectivities …

In this article, we analyse a new sensitive spectroscopic technique in which a sample cell is irradiated by a two-frequency pump beam (ω + Δ ± δ/2) and a counter-propagating probe beam (ω). The phase-conjugate fields re-emitted at frequencies ω ± δ, via four-wave mixing processes, are detected through their heterodyne beating with the probe field. …

Abstract: In this paper, nearly degenerate four-wave mixing created by pump-probe structure with small frequency spacing and enough high power is demonstrated and discussed by introducing single optical beam into single-mode Fabry-Pérot laser diode, in which the injected beam is called the probe wave, whose frequency detuning is …
This diagram describes the four-wave mixing interaction between frequencies f1 f 1, f2 f 2, f3 f 3 and f4 f 4. In addition to these new frequency components, if there is already a wave at either of the f3 f 3 or f4 f 4 frequencies, it can undergo parametric amplification . This is called non-degenerate four-wave mixing, reflecting the fact that ...

The elements in the dashed blue box represent a coupled microstrip line whose even mode electrical length is λ S / 4 .The coupled microstrip is open at DC, and so, unlike the JRM, there is no exterior loop in this …

There is presently a considerable amount of interest in wave conjugation via four-wave mixing in saturable absorbing media. Typically, the four-wave process in volves the interaction, of two counter-propagating pump waves and an Input probe wave via a third-order nonlinearity in the polarization of the medium. Introduction of the probe wave …
ear wave mixing induced by OAM PS beams in a heated sample of rubidium atoms, and the underlying rules that dictate the transfer of optical spatial structure. In par-ticular, we consider a degenerate forward four-wave mix-ing (FWM) process in a configuration where two distinct signals are generated, and we study both of these signals [37, 38].
The double-channel gain spectrum, named probe channel and four wave mixing channel, comes from a co-propagating degenerate four wave mixing in a hot atomic ensemble. The intention is to divide the gain spectrum into several sub frequency bands through dressed four wave mixing. When a dressed field is exerted on one transition that shares the ...
Degenerate four waves mixing (DFWM) can yield phase conjugation and is useful, for example, for correcting aberrations by using a phase conjugate mirror (PCM). FWM is a fiber-optic characteristic that affects WDM systems, where multiple optical wavelengths are spaced at equal intervals or channel spacing. The effects of FWM are …
The influence of a repump laser on a nearly degenerate four-wave-mixing (ND-FWM) spectrum was investigated. We found the amplitude and the line shape of the NDFWM depended strongly on the detuning of the repump field. A five-peak structure was observed, and at some certain repump detuning a dip appeared at the central peak. A rough …
