Abstract
General conditions for four-wave mixing processes are investigated for the three-dimensional geometry. Unlike the standard two-frequency coherent Raman scattering, the use of three laser beams allows great flexibility in the phase-matching condition. Theoretically calculated plots are presented for dispersive and nondispersive media and are compared with experimental results in carbon disulphide and hydrogen gas, respectively.
