Abstract

Abstract: In this letter, we show polarized dressing suppression and enhancement of six-wave mixing involving Rydberg in a multi-Zeeman-level atomic system. By scanning the frequency detuning of the dressing field, we observe the suppression and enhancement of Rydberg six-wave mixing with different polarization of the probe field in thermal vapors. Since different polarization states of the dressing field can select different transitions among multi-Zeeman levels, the polarization dependence of Rydberg dressing is investigated for the first time. Theoretical calculations are given and are in good agreement with the experimental results.
