摘要
We have observed the reflection of a probe laser beam by a three-dimensional optical lattice of rubidum atoms. The reflection spectrum shows different kinds of narrow resonances which we attribute to degenerate (phase conjugation) and non-degenerate multiwave mixing processes. In order to explain the extremely narrow linewidth (300 Hz) of the degenerate four-wave mixing resonance and its dependence on the angle of incidence of the probe, we propose a novel physical mechanism which includes the formation of a long-range atomic-density grating acting as a hologram.
