Continuous parametric amplification in a resonantly driven double- Λ system

Continuous wave parametric amplification on resonance transitions in a double- Λ level configuration in Na 2 molecules is demonstrated. Parametric amplification exists in spite of a high absorption coefficient for one of the generated fields. Theoretical interpretation of experimental results is giv...

Summary:Continuous wave parametric amplification on resonance transitions in a double- Λ level configuration in Na 2 molecules is demonstrated. Parametric amplification exists in spite of a high absorption coefficient for one of the generated fields. Theoretical interpretation of experimental results is given and effects of Raman gain on parametric amplification are discussed.
