摘要
We report observations of the enhancement and suppression of four-wave mixing （FWM） in an electromagnetically induced transparency window in a Y-type ^85 Rb atomic system. The results show the evolution of the dressed effects （from pure enhancement to partial enhancement/suppression, and finally into pure suppression） in the degenerate-FWM processes. Moreover, we use the perturbation chain method to describe the FWM process. Finally, we observe the polarization dependence of the enhancement and suppression of the FWM signal.
