Abstract
Role of collisions in inducing and enhancing extra resonances in non-linear generation by four-wave mixing in inhomogeneously broadened four level systems is studied. It is shown that collision induced three and two-photon resonances can be enhanced further by tuning to exact one photon (non-absorbing) transitions between unpopulated upper levels. In addition we also find existence of collision induced interference dip at the three-photon resonance that arises due to complete cancellation of signal at the line center.
