Abstract
We report on the observation of amplified reflection and optical parametric oscillation via degenerate four‐wave mixing in a nonresonant medium. The process is mediated through the third‐order nonlinear susceptibility in a transparent liquid medium, CS2. A collinear mixing geometry is utilized to obtain long interaction lengths and polarization discrimination is used to separate the pump and signal fields.Keywords
