Observation of electromagnetically induced phase matching

Opt Lett. 1993 Jun 15;18(12):998-1000. doi: 10.1364/ol.18.000998.

Abstract

We report the observation of electromagnetically induced phase matching in collisionally broadened Pb vapor. At a critical intensity at which the Rabi frequency of a dressing 1064-nm laser overcomes the Doppler broadening of the vapor, the generated four-frequency-mixing signal at 283 nm increases in a steplike manner by a factor of 59.
