摘要：

Quantum interference in the rate of two-photon excitation of the 6S(1/2)-->6P(3/2)-->6D(5/2) transition in atomic cesium is exploited to demonstrate phase-sensitive frequency demodulation for an optical interval of +/-12.5 THz. By thus using atoms as ultrafast nonlinear mixing elements, we suggest and analyze a new avenue for absolute comparisons of a dense set of frequencies over the range of 200-2000 nm.
