Abstract
The effect of fourth-order coherence on ultrafast modulation spectroscopy ( UMS) with phase-conjugation geometry (PCUMS) in a cascade three-level syste m is investigated using chaotic and phase-diffusion models. It has been fou nd that the modulation terms of the beat signal depend on the second-order coherence function, and different stochastic models of the laser held affec t only the fourth-order coherence function. The difference between the PCUM S and UMS is discussed from a physical viewpoint.
