We theoretically study the Talbot effects resulted from the four-wave mixing and six-wave mixing signals, which are periodically modulated due to the coherence control effect. Corresponding to different dressing states, the enhancement and suppression conditions that will affect the properties of the multiwave mixing signals are also discussed in detail. Such proposal can be useful in all-optical-controlled pattern formation and propagation of light.

Controlling multi-wave mixing signals via photonic band gap of electromagnetically induced absorption grating in atomic media.

Dressed multi-wave mixing and the reflection of the probe beam due to electromagnetically induced absorption (EIA) grating can coexist in a five-level atomic ensemble and can reflect more energy from probe than EIT-type PBG does, which can effectively affect the MWM signal.
