Abstract
Four-wave mixing in atomic hydrogen with the generation of coherent Ly man-beta radiation at 102.6 nm was investigated experimentally and the oretically in the low density limit. We demonstrate that in this doubl y-resonant system, the application of intense laser radiation to stron gly couple the 2s and 3p levels causes transparency in the 3p <-- 1s t ransition, leading to reduced absorption of the generated Lyman-beta r adiation, and to increased conversion efficiency.
