We demonstrate an efficient frequency up-conversion based on generation of large atomic coherence in a cascade system. Two infrared, low power laser fields tuned to the vicinity of the two-photon transition in Rb vapor were converted spontaneously into infrared and blue radiation. Extension of the technique into other spectral regions using highly excited states seems feasible.
