Abstract
Theoretical and experimental investigations of continuous four-wave mixing and parametric amplification in a resonantly driven double-Lambda scheme of Na-2 molecules are reported. Cases of copropagating and counterpropagating pump waves are analyzed. Macroscopic propagation of the generated fields a nd the interplay of absorption, Raman gain, four-wave mixing, and parametri c amplification are studied.
