Three levels of propagation of the Four-wave mixing signal

Abstract

In this work, we analyze different levels of propagation of the Four-wave mixing signal in a strongly driven two-level system when the stochastic effects of the thermal bath, are considered. First approximation level, given by an analytical solution valid only for constant pump intensity along the optical path; a second approximation level as an analytical solution valid for a lineal variation of the pump intensity, and finally, a third level as numerical solution, which represent the exact case. In all cases, high dependence of the nonlinear propagation with the chemical concentration, stochastic noise parameters, relaxation times, are studied.
