在以惰性气体Xe为非线形介质,利用双光子共振四波混频差频(2PR4WDM,ω-=2ωUV-ωT)技术,产生可调谐相干真空紫外激光(VUV)的实验中,观察到产生的VUV在一些特定波长附近出现共振衰减.这些波长对应着伴随过程四波混频和频的双共振增强.对四波混频过程进行了比较粗略的定量的处理,考虑到泵浦光在传播途中的衰减,得到的结论能很好地解释观察到的差频输出的衰减现象,差频输出的衰减是由于双共振四波混频和频(ω+=2ωUV+ωT)与差频竞争的结果.
Tunable intense Vacuum Ultraviolet (VUV) laser was generated by two-photon resonant four wave difference frequency mixing (ω-=2ωUV-ωT) in Xenon. In the experiment some resonance attenuations of the VUV were observed at certain difference frequencies. These attenuations occur when the sum frequencies ω+=2ωUV+ωT coincide with excited ns (n=10,11) and nd (n=8~13) states. The third order linear susceptibility χ(3)(2ωUV+ωT;ωUV,ωUV+ωT) is reasonably increased by the double resonance enhancement, so the conversion efficiency of sum frequency mixing can be very high and the power of the pump laser is decreased and thus the difference frequency output is attenuated.
