Abstract

We propose a scheme of multiplex nonresonant pump four-wave mixing (NRP-FWM) process which is highly immune to saturation problems. The process is accomplished with two high-intensity pump beams detuned far from the resonance of the sample under investigation and a resonant probe beam as weak as possible not to give rise to nonlinear absorption. Only a single-broadband probe beam is used for the multiplex experiment to detect the electronic swan band spectrum of C2 molecules in a premixed acetylene–oxygen flame. Comparing the signal of the degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) experiment on the same sample, we found that the signal level at which the NRP-FWM starts to show saturation is about 250 times higher than in the case of the DFWM.
