Abstract

A nonperturbative theoretical study of four-wave-mixing processes in four-level systems is presented. Using the density-matrix formalism, numerical results are obtained for two arbitrarily intense pump fields with the third field a weak probe. The fourth wave, radiated by the system, is obtained analytically for some special cases. We find, for different frequency detunings, Rabi frequencies, and relaxation rates that the line shapes exhibit: (i) dynamic Stark splitting and shifting, and merging of resonances; (ii) power broadening with two-photon antiresonance behavior resulting from a destructive interference between different contributions to the optical polarization; and (iii) extra resonances induced by field intensities and saturation processes.
