Blue and Infrared Coherent Beams Generated by Multiple Wave Mixing in Rb Vapor

Abstract

Utilizing nonlinear optical processes in Rb vapor we observe the generation of coherent optical fields at 420 nm and 1324 nm. Input laser beams at 780 nm and 776 nm enter a heated Rb vapor cell collinear and circularly polarized.
