Abstract
GaAs quantum wells are simultaneously illuminated with near-infrared (NIR) radiation at frequency ωnir and intense far-infrared (FIR) radiation from a free-electron laser at ωfir. Magnetic fields up to 9 T are applied. Strong and narrow sidebands are observed at ωsideband=ωnir±2ωfir. The intensity of the sidebands is enhanced when either ωsideband or ωnir is near the onset of NIR absorption in the quantum well, or when ωfir is near the free-electron cyclotron frequency. We attribute these sidebands to four-wave mixing of NIR and FIR photons whose energies differ by more than a factor of 100.
