Abstract

The coexisting Rayleigh and Brillouin attosecond sum-frequency polarization beats (ASPBs) and the coexisting Raman, Rayleigh, and Brillouin ASPBs have also been investigated via homodyne and heterodyne detections, respectively. The Raman, Rayleigh, and Brillouin-enhanced four-wave mixing processes strongly compete with each other in ASPBs. The heterodyne-detected signal of ASPBs offers the phase dispersion of the third-order nonlinear susceptibility in the homogeneous broadening material.
