摘要
We have observed an interference in four-wave mixing involving two Rydberg states that play the key role of near two-photon resonant intermediate levels. This interference, due to the coherence of the nonlinear process, can be explained either classically or quantum mechanically and it depends on the lasers' polarizations and detunings. We have performed calculations that are in very good agreement with the experimental data. Our results provide new information about the system, such as ionization rates of the Rydberg levels and the ratio of reduced matrix elements involved. [S1050-2947(98)12509-X].
