Abstract
A rotationally resolved excitation spectrum of the A 2SIGMA+-X2PI3/2 t ransition of nitric oxide was observed by use of the two-photon degene rate four-wave mixing (TP-DFWM) process. It was found that the peak po sitions in the TP-DFWM spectrum are blue-shifted by 0.5 cm-1 compared to corresponding rotational lines in the two-photon laser-induced fluo rescence excitation spectrum. From the dependence of the TP-DFWM signa l intensity upon the polarization of the input laser fields, the mecha nism for the generation of the phase-conjugate beam is discussed.
