Abstract

We have extended observations of total cancellation of three-photon atomic excitation by internally generated fields due to four-wave mixing. The process was found to occur as predicted in an excitation mode involving two photons of frequency ω1 and one of frequency ω2, plus the generated four-wave-mixing field at frequency 2ω1+ω2. Experiments were conducted on the 6s state of Xe.
