Such results are obtained by the linear and nonlinear modulation of...

Sumario:We propose an atomic model in close-loop configuration, which exhibits controllable symmetric and asymmetric evolution of significantly enhanced diffraction peaks of the weak probe beam in an opto-atomic grating at far-field regime. Such results are obtained by the linear and nonlinear modulation of the intensities of the diffraction peaks as a result of multi-wave-mixing-induced modification of spatially modulated coherence in a closed four-level atomic system. Novelty of the results lies in predicting the diffraction pattern with uniform peak height due to the dominance of the amplitude part of the grating-transfer-function at the condition of exact atom-field resonance, which is unique to the present model. Efficacy of the present scheme is to apply it in producing nonlinear light generated by four-wave-mixing-induced control of spatially modulated coherence effect. The work also finds its importance for its applicability in the field of all-optical devices.
