Generalized dressed and doubly-dressed multi-wave mixing.

We present a theoretical treatment for generalized dressed and doubly-dressed multi-wave mixing processes. Co-existing four-wave mixing (FWM), six-wave mixing (SWM) and eight-wave mixing processes have been considered in a closed-cycle five-level system. Due to constructive interference of the secondarily-dressed and primarily-dressed excitation pathways, the FWM and SWM signals are greatly enhanced. The dually enhanced FWM channels are opened simultaneously.
