Measurement of Oscillator Strengths of Hg by Four-Wave Mixing
We have developed new techniques based on four-wave mixing for the accurate determination of oscillator strengths and applied them to measure 61S - n1,3P and 71S - n1,3P (n = 6 - 13) matrix elements of atomic Hg. For transitions from the 61S ground state, index matching conditions were used to determine refractive indicies and thus f-values, …

Optical parametric oscillator and amplifier providing tunable
We report on an all-solid-state light source for nanosecond (ns) laser pulses, with broad tunability in the mid-infrared, spectral bandwidth close to the Fourier transform limit, and pulse energy in the mJ regime. To this end, we extend a tunable, continuous wave (cw) singly resonant optical parametric oscillator by an optical parametric pre …

The Gunn diode (or Baritt diode) will serve both as a local oscillator, and because nonline- arities are always present in an oscillator, as a mixing element.

signal processing
So it is unwise to assume that a sine wave input to local-oscillator guarantees fewer harmonics at mixer output. The local oscillator port of a saturated-switch type mixer described above should be assumed non-linear. Driving a local-oscillator port with logic signals can be done, but not casually. A mixer local oscillator port often …

Yes, a square wave can be fine. When you mix, you get the sum and the difference of the frequency components from each input. The square wave consists of the fundamental and all the odd harmonics, so you need to do some filtering somewhere, of course.. The Softrock Ensamble RXTX is a simple direct conversion HF transceiver which makes a …
Resonant intracavity four-wave mixing in a composite atom–cavity system
Abstract. We experimentally study intracavity four-wave mixing (FWM) using Λ -type, three-level electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) atoms confined in an optical ring cavity. The original dark-state peak disappears accompanying the generation of intracavity FWM when the coupling light is changed from traveling-wave to standing wave.

Oscillators: What Are They? (Definition, Types,
An oscillator is a circuit that creates a continuous, alternating waveform from a DC source without any external input. It converts a one-way current into an alternating waveform at a frequency determined by its components.
