Abstract

The two‐color resonant four‐wave mixing (TC‐RFWM) is advertised as a unique spectroscopic device enabling one to directly measure the collisional state‐to‐state transfer characteristics (rates and correlation times). In contrast to the laser‐induced fluorescence, these characteristics are phase‐sensitive and open wider opportunities to study the rotational relaxation processes. Further perspectives are offered by the recently recorded collision‐induced picosecond TC‐RFWM signals of OH. Their quantitative interpretation is now under development.
