| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have developed the new method, four-wave mixing in the vacuum, to search for a low-mass scalar field weakly coupling to photons which can be a reasonable candidate for Dark Energy. Based on the pilot search by utilizing this method, we evaluated the upper limit on the mass-coupling relation on unknown scalar fields. Although the laser field strength is still weak, we have succeeded to publish the result of the pilot search for the first time.
