Abstract :
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.
