Abstract

The three-wave mixing process has been studied as functions of incident photon energy and also of the geometrical configuration when incident photon energy lies around the two-photon resonance of excitonic molecule. Experiments indicate that the intensity of the third order nonlinear light beam is enhanced when the phase matching condition derived from the dispersion of excitonic polariton holds or when incident photon energy is equal to the two-photon resonance of excitonic molecule. The relation between this three-wave mixing process and two-photon resonant Raman scattering so far observed is discussed. It is shown that this three-wave mixing process is regarded as the two-photon resonant, coherent Raman scattering via excitonic molecules.
