Bichromatic field generation from double-four-wave mixing in a double-electromagnetically induced transparency system

We demonstrate the double electromagnetically induced transparency (double-EIT) and double four-wave mixing (double-FWM) based on a new scheme of non-degenerate four-wave mixing (FWM) involving five levels of a cold 85Rb atomic ensemble, in which the double-EIT windows are used to transmit the probe field and enhance the third-order nonlinear susceptibility. The phase-matching conditions for both four-wave mixings could be satisfied simultaneously. The frequency of one component of the generated bichromatic field is less than the other by the ground-state hyperfine splitting (3GHz). This specially designed experimental scheme for simultaneously generating different nonlinear wave-mixing processes is expected to find applications in quantum information processing and cross phase modulation. Our results agree well with the theoretical simulation.Comment: Accepted by NJ

Study of Bc−B_{c}^{-} →{\to} J/ψπ−J/{\psi}{\pi}^{-}, ηcπ−{\eta}_{c}{\pi}^{-} Decays with QCD Factorization

The $B_{c}$ ${\to}$ $J/{\psi}{\pi}$, ${\eta}_{c}{\pi}$ decays are studied in the scheme of the QCD factorization approach. The branching ratios are calculated with the asymptotic distribution amplitude of the pion. The charm quark mass effect is considered. We find that the mass effect on the branching ratios is small.Comment: 20 pages, 3 figures, 3 table
