Abstract
Sideband amplification is the gain experienced by a weak probe wave in a two-level medium subjected to a strong nearly resonant pump wave. The propagation of a pump and probe through a two-level medium was studied by numerically solving the Maxwell-Bloch equations. By varying the probe-pump detuning frequency, it was found that the probe is strongly amplified over a broad range of frequencies, not just at the generalized Rabi frequency Ω′ as predicted by steady state perturbation theory.1
