Abstract
The interaction between stimulated electronic Raman scattering and four wave parametric emission in potassium has been studied on the basis of common real states and emission channels. The modified intensity Stokes dependence and higher saturation pump intensity have been accounted for by the model developed. Two tunable pump waves are used to initiate the two steps, involving a dipole forbidden 4S − 3D transition.
