Measurement of Coherence Decay in GaMnAs Using Femtosecond Four-wave Mixing
Published on: December 3, 2013
Abstract:
Using diagrammatic perturbation theory, we calculate the higher-order susceptibility for the n-wave process, omega(0) = (n/2 - 1)(omega(1) - omega(2)) + omega(1), in a phase-matched n-wave-mixing geometry. We include the 16 Zeeman and hyperfine levels of the sodium ground (3S((1/2))) and excited (3P((1/2))) states, finding resonances at subharmonics [+/-(1/2), +/-?, ..., +/-1(n/2 - 1)] of the ground-level transition frequencies. The computed spectrum for eight-wave mixing is in satisfactory agreement with experiment. In addition, a theoretical twelve-wave-mixing spectrum predicts a new higher-order selection rule.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
