Abstract
We investigate the orbital angular momentum of vortex light in a six-level atomic system with a closed loop. We find that a vortex light field via four-wave mixing (FWM) is sensitive to the relative phase of the driving fields due to forming a closed loop configuration. Thus, it could periodically tune the phase and intensity of the vortex FWM field by adjusting the relative phase of the driving fields. Moreover, the spatial modulation of the vortex FWM phase and intensity also can be achieved by tuning the intensity of the microwave field and detuning of the driving fields.
