Observation of amplified reflection by degenerate four-wave mixing in atomic sodium vapor

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

This Letter is the first report of the observation of amplified reflection and self-oscillation produced by degenerate optical four-wave mixing by using a resonantly enhanced Kerr nonlinearity in atomic sodium vapor. Phase-conjugated reflected waves with intensities 100 times greater than input-signal intensities were achieved with only 40-kW/cm2 pump intensity.
