Detection of Trace Molecular Species Using Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing

Spectroscopies that make use of laser light have provided an important tool to modern researchers for the nonintrusive analysis of chemical systems. The strengths and limitations of these spectroscopic techniques often determine the viability of scientific investigations. The unique properties of degenerate four-wave mixing, a nonlinear optical technique, have recently been found to provide powerful capabilities for a wide range of applications.
