Two-Color Four-Wave Mixing: Substantial Signal-To-Noise Ratio in the (0-0) A-X system of OH

Two-color RFWM spectra of OH in the (0-0) vibrational band of the A-X electronic transition. The PUMP beam is exciting two overlapping transitions (R1(8) and R1(10)). The processes involved are shown schematically (1: SEP; 2: upward transition). The signal-to-noise ratio is approaching 500:1.
