Distortion-free gain and noise correlation in sodium vapor with four-wave mixing and coherent population trapping

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We observed optical gain as great as 30 with nearly distortion-free beam propagation in optically dense sodium vapor, using four-wave mixing. Moreover, 15-dB classical noise correlations were seen in the amplified probe and conjugate beams. To achieve this performance in such a strongly absorbing medium, one must suppress unwanted absorption and self-focusing effects. This is accomplished with coherent population trapping.
