摘要：

We demonstrate an efficient nonlinear process in which Stokes and anti-Stokes components are generated spontaneously in a multilevel medium coherently prepared by resonant, counterpropagating fields. A medium of this kind combines large nonlinear gain and efficient intrinsic feedback, thereby allowing for very weak optical fields to induce nonlinear processes. Mirrorless self-oscillation induced by microwatts of light power (nanojoules of pulse energy) is observed.
