Entanglement manipulation in various systems is one of the important problems in quantum information science. In this paper, the phase sensitivity and entanglement enhancement of the cascade four-wave mixing of hot atomic steam are studied. The results show that the quantum entanglement of the probe light and the conjugate light output at the second level of the cascade four-wave mixing process is significantly stronger than that at the first level, and the maximum increment can reach more than 5 dB, and the perfect entanglement can be achieved by increasing the intensity factor. The relations of quantum correlation type and the size of the entanglement with the pump phase and the nonlinear intensity factor are also discussed in this work. The results show that because of the enhancement of entanglement and the sensitivity of entanglement type to pump phase, the light field noise characteristics can be changed by controlling the phase and intensity factors thus realize the enhancement of entanglement between the probe and coupling light and the quantum manipulation of entanglement extent and quantum entanglement type. The theoretical study is of important significance for guiding the experimental implementation of optical parameter manipulation of entanglement enhancement, compression angle and compression degree of two-mode compression state.
