Abstract

We report the enhancement of nonlinearity to absorption ratio in rubidium vapor for a signal beam in ${}^{87}$Rb transition D2 line with $F_g=1$ by means of an additional pump beam. Experimental results for a pump beam in co- and counter-propagation configurations are reported. The ratio increment of approximately 2 times is obtained for the co-propagating case when the pump beam is tuned at $F_g=1$.
