摘要
The dependence of four-wave mixing (FWM) generated in Rubidium (Rb) vapor with electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) window on polarizations of the incident fields is studied both theoretically and experimentally. The polarization properties of FWM signal under diverse laser polarization configurations are studied and compared. The results indicate that FWM signal is linear polarized when all incident fields are linear polarized. However, FWM becomes elliptical polarized if any incident field is elliptical polarized. Moreover, the polarizations of the incident fields also influence the dressing effect of the coupling field on FWM process. As the polarization of coupling field (or probe field) varying from linear to circular, the dressing effect gets stronger. By controlling the polarizations of the incident beams polarizations, we can manipulate the polarization state of FWM signal and the dressing effect as well. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
