Quasi-degenerate four-wave mixing (FWM) experiments have been performed on the layered chalcogenide semiconductor gallium selenide (GaSe) with a 15 mW cw HeNe laser. Since the band gap of this material is close to the photon energy of the laser, its third-order susceptibility χ(3) experiences very strong resonance enhancement, so FWM signals can be readily detected with a setup adapted from [1]. The laser radiation is split into three parts, two of which are frequency-shifted with acousto-optic modulators (AOMs) by ν1 = 70 MHz and ν2 = 110 MHz, respectively, and focused into a thin GaSe crystal. The generated FWM signal is superimposed with the unshifted laser beam on a fast photodiode, generating a beat note at 2 ν1 − ν2 = 30 MHz, which is phase-sensitively demodulated using standard radio-frequency electronics. The FWM signal of GaSe is analyzed as a function of temperature.
