Polarization dependence of four-wave mixing in a degenerate two-level system

Quantum Physics 2009-11-06 v1 Atomic Physics

Abstract

Nearly degenerate four-wave mixing (NDFWM) within a closed degenerate two-level atomic transition is theoretically and experimentally examined. Using the model presented by A. Lezama et al [Phys. Rev. A 61, 013801 (2000)] the NDFWM spectra corresponding to different pump and probe polarization cases are calculated and discussed. The calculated spectra are compared to the observation of NDFWM within the 6S1/2(F=4)6P3/2(F=5)6S_{1/2}(F=4)\to 6P_{3/2}(F=5) transition of cesium in a phase conjugation experiment using magneto optically cooled atoms
