Abstract

Coherent frequency conversion of vector beams (VBs) without distorting their intensity profile or spatial polarization distribution is important for novel applications in quantum and classical regimes. Here, we experimentally and theoretically investigate VB transfer from near-infrared to blue light using a Sagnac interferometer, combining the parametric four-wave mixing process in atomic vapor. The vector probe beam is converted into a completely different wavelength, and the vector mode of the generated blue beam is highly similar to the incident probe beam. These results may provide a feasible solution for communication interfaces in classical and quantum science fields based on atomic ensembles.
