摘要：

We have demonstrated enhanced nondegenerate four-wave mixing by use of a resonant, probe in a double-A system consisting of an optically dense spectral hole-burning solid. The observed probe diffraction efficiency is similar to 16% in amplitude at 6 K which is higher than for an off-resonant probe in a A-type scheme. We have also observed two-photon coherence line narrowing, which has potential application to high-resolution spectroscopy. (C) 1999 Optical Society of America.
