Quantum interference in atomic vapor observed by four-wave mixing with incoherent light

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Pairs of pulses from an incoherent source are used to investigate the time-resolved four-wave mixing response of atomic rubidium when a two-photon resonance is involved in the nonlinear process. By varying the relative polarization of the pulse pairs, we are able to select the quantum pathways and clearly distinguish optical and quantum interferences.
