Non-degenerate four wave mixingNV diamond sample has ~30 ppm color centers, has
peak optical density of ~0.6 for 1 W/cm2 probe intensity at 15 K
Used one dye laser, with acousto-optic frequency shiftersDownshifted R1, R2, P from original frequency by
400, 280, and 420 MHz, respectivelyIntensities of R1, R2, P and repump beam were

Results: NDFWMNarrow linewidth is taken as
evidence of Raman processHomogeneous width of optical transition (~50 MHz)Inhomogeneous width of spin transition (5 MHz)
Recall: for NDFWM, intensities of R1, R2, P and repump beam were 1.2, 1.6, 5.6, 10 W/cm2
Saturation intensities are 36 W/cm2 and 56 W/cm2 for optical transitions resonant with R1 and R2, respectively

Results: EITMax value of transparency is 17% of
background absorption70% of what is possible (random orientation of NV
center in diamond)EIT linewidth is substantially
smaller than laser jitter (~100 MHz) and the optical homogeneous linewidth
