| dc.description.abstract | We experimentally observe coherent generation of a near-infrared optical field through a three-wave mixing phenomenon in an atomic energy level scheme of Rb85Rb85 atoms. This nonlinear generation process in a centro-symmetric thermally broadened atomic system is made possible through a novel interaction between induced electric and magnetic dipoles. The two-photon and three-photon coherence present in our scheme eliminates excited state decoherence. Thus, our scheme represents a minimal optical decoherence scheme which could be used to transfer quantum states between microwave-to-optical frequency regimes with near-unit fidelity. | en_US |
