Abstract
The possible mechanism for the generation of near three photon resonant third-harmonic in the low energy side of the 62 P 1 state of Hg is described. It is shown that the existence of strong ac Stark effect, due to the presence of the additional resonance 61 P 1–61 D 2 via the fundamental photon, results in a spatially dependent phase mismatch, which can lead to nonzero radiation in the Δk>0 region. Additionally, the influence of the ac Stark effect as a saturation mechanism with increased incoming radiation power is described.
