A theoretical model consisting of 5 energy levels, with the three upper states coherently excited, was proposed to analyze the coherent characteristics of atomic wave packets using perturbative theory. Pump-probe technique was implemented to detect coupled difference frequency four-wave mixing processes for studying the coherent characteristics of Rb atomic wave packets. Quantum beats were extracted the time domain signal by Fourier transform. Moreover, the variation of quantum beats was gained by time-dependent Fourier transform. The results show that the coherent characteristics of alkali metal atomic wave packets are closely related to quantum beats embedded in the time delayed four-wave mixing signal. Theoretical results are consistent with experimental observations, possessing potential applications in multi-channel information encoding and decoding.

A theoretical model consisting of 5 energy levels in coupled four-wave mixing processes was proposed to analyze the coherent characteristics of atomic wavepackets using perturbative theory. The equations of motions of the density matrix were derived and the third-order density matrix elements were presented. Under the condition that the duration of laser pulses is sufficiently short, the system response was treated as impulse response. Moreover, in the lowest order perturbation theory, the third-order nonlinear polarization was obtained using rotating-wave approximation. The results show that multiple quantum beats are embedded in the coupled four-wave mixing signals, and coherent dynamics of wavepackets can be retrieved from the quantum beat dynamics.
