Enhanced four-wave mixing via elimination of inhomogeneous broadening by coherent driving of quantum transition with control fields
We show that atoms from wide velocity interval can be concurrently involved
in Doppler-free two-photon resonant far from frequency degenerate four-wave
mixing with the aid of auxiliary electromagnetic field. This gives rise to
substantial enhancement of the output radiation generated in optically thick
medium. Numerical illustrations addressed to typical experimental conditions
are given.Comment: LaTeX2e, hyperref, 7 pages, 5 figures, to appear in PRA 1 august 200
