A phase conjugate mirror utilising four-wave mixing in a magnetic system is experimentally realised for the first time. Indirect evidence of continuous-wave phase conjugation has been observed experimentally and is supported by simulations. The experiment utilises a pump-probe method to excite a four-wave mixing process. Two …

The formulation of phase conjugation via nondegenerate four-wave mixing in a Doppler-broadened resonant medium is generalized to include nondegenerate pump frequencies. This process is shown capable of yielding a tunable optical band-pass filter whose central frequency can be tuned over the entire Doppler profile with only a small …
We extend the quantum theory of nondegenerate four-wave mixing by including the effects of the finite bandwidth of the driving-pump field. The interaction of a beam of two-level atoms with the two opposite driving-pump fields that have finite bandwidth inside a bimodal cavity is considered. The master equation for the cavity-field modes, …

We report what we believe to be the first experimental demonstration of nondegenerate four-wave mixing in a microstructure fiber. The effect of the χ (3) nonlinearity is enhanced in such a fiber because of the small core area, and we achieve phase matching by operating near the zero-dispersion wavelength (≃750 nm). We have observed parametric gains of …

Nondegenerate forward four-wave mixing in hot atomic vapors has been shown to produce strong quantum correlations between twin beams of light [McCormick et al., Opt.

nondegenerate four-wave mixing (4WM) in a hot atomic vapor. The beams display continuous-variable entanglement in that the quantum fluctuations of a given pair of spatial modes cannot be described independently, a property also known as inseparability. This property is needed for the implementation of numerous quantum information protocols (5).
In order to enhance the four-wave — mixing gain and restrict the frequency spectrum to a noise-free region, the experiments described here use nondegenerate four-wave mixing in an optical cavity.

Abstract. We demonstrate a new phase-matching geometry for four-wave mixing processes in hot Rb85 vapor, in which all four fields propagate in different directions but two of them are degenerate in frequency. When used as a parametric amplifier with an injected seed, two types of quantum mechanically correlated twin-beam states, either ...
The authors report on nondegenerate four-wave mixing in the near infrared using a one-dimensional chalcogenide-glass based photonic crystal. For 76 lattice constants, they find a 3.5-fold enhancement of the mixing signal with respect to the optimum-thickness bulk chalcogenide film. The key is the ability to tailor the dispersion …
Our proposal is valid not only for nondegenerate three-wave mixing, but it can also be applied for second-harmonic generation by changing the bias magnetic flux. Also, contrary to Ref. 28, where the circuit itself is in the classical regime, in our study, the three-wave mixing is generated using excitations of real quantized energy levels of ...
