Seven Odd-Order Multi-Wave Mixing Spectra in a Five-Level Atomic System

Abstract

In a K-type five-level atomic system, seven odd-order multi-wave mixing (MWM) processes are considered. We can distinguish the MWM signals by selectively blocking different laser beams and changing frequency detuning. We study the interaction in seven odd-order MWM processes in a five-level atomic system and demonstrate the existence of mutual suppression of seven odd-order MWM processes by setting dual electromagnetically induced transparency windows as separated or merged.
