摘要：

We demonstrate efficient degenerate four-wave mixing in a 10 mum cell of cesium atomic vapor using resonant light. This thin atomic vapor can be utilized for processing high resolution images in a joint transform optical correlator. A figure of merit is presented showing that thin atomic vapors can perform optical correlation of images using fewer photons than other materials.
