Summary: | The nonlinear optical properties are studied theoretically of a molecular system immersed in a thermal bath and interacting with a four-wave mixing signal. A methodology based on cumulant expansions to obtain the average in the Fourier components associated with the coherences and populations, calculated by the optical stochastic Bloch equations, is employed. The system properties are analyzed as a function of the frequency detuning of the high-intensity pump beam and parameterized by the frequency detuning of the probe beam, both with respect to the Bohr frequency of the system. The longitudinal and transversal relaxation times and the bath effects, modeled as white noise, are also included as parameters in the calculation. Different cases, with degenerate and non-degenerate optical frequencies are examined and compared, resulting in differences related to the maximum in the population pulsation effects. |
