Abstract

This work studies the spatial propagation of the four-wave mixing signal of a molecular system with two electronic levels immersed in a thermal bath. Using the optical Bloch-Maxwell equations, we present three approximations, two of them are analytical solutions and the other is a numerical approach, where the effects of the variation of pump intensity through the optical path are considered. Also, we compare these results with the analogous in absence of the thermal reservoir and it is shown that the stochastic effect induced by the solvent, due to the experimental conditions as relaxation times, concentration of the solution and optical frequencies of the pumps, diminishes the intensity responses compared with the same in absence of the bath.
