Abstract
Based on the polarization interference between two four-wave mixing (FWM) p rocesses, we demonstrate a phase-sensitive method for studying Raman-enhanc ed nondegenerate four-wave mixing (RENFWM). The reference beam is another F WM signal, which propagates along the same optical path as the RENFWM signa l. We have employed this method to study the phase dispersion of the third- order susceptibility chi((3)) and for optical heterodyne detection of the R ENFWM signal.
