Abstract

Experiments have been performed in which atomic wavepackets produced on the approximately 100 fs time scale interact with a four-wave mixing process in Rb and K vapor to produce spatially and temporally coherent pulses of ultraviolet radiation. Wavepackets were produced by coherently exciting the 9d, 10d, 11s, and 12s states ensemble of Rb with red pulses from an amplified CPM system. Two pulses of approximately equal energy are produced in a beamsplitter and one delayed in time with respect to the other by a delay stage in one leg of a Michelson interferometer.
