Multiple-quantum coherence signals in thermal vapors — •Friedemann Landmesser, Ulrich Bangert, Lukas Bruder, Marcel Binz, Daniel Uhl, and Frank Stienkemeier — Institute of Physics, University of Freiburg, Germany

We investigate collective effects in thermal atomic alkali vapors by multiple-quantum coherence experiments, where multiphoton processes can be separated from one-photon transitions and can be assigned to specific particle numbers [1,2]. We extended our previous collinear phase-modulated electronic coherent spectroscopy scheme [1] from a 2-pulse to a 4-pulse sequence [2]. The technique is sensitive enough to reveal weak interparticle interactions, despite the thermal motion and the spatial separation of the atoms in the micrometer-range [3]. First results of fluorescence measurements of a potassium vapor will be presented.
