Abstract
The stochastic effects of a thermal bath on a two-level molecular system interacting with a classical electromagnetic field are considered. The collective effects are modeled as a random Bohr frequency, whose manifestation is the broadening of the upper level according to a prescribed random function. A methodology based in cumulant expansions to obtain the average in the Fourier components associated with the coherence and populations, calculated by Optical Stochastic Bloch Equations (OSBE), is employed. The Four-wave mixing signal intensity as a function of the detuning of the pump beam, parametrized by the ratio of the relaxation times and other variables, is analyzed. © 2012 World Scientific Publishing Company.
