Experimental study of Stokes fields linewidth in resonant four-wave mixing in Rb vapour

We report transmission linewidths for a weak anti-Stokes component and generated Stokes component during resonant four-wave mixing in atomic Rb vapour. We consistently observe larger linewidth of the generated field relative to the input field.
