Photorefractive phase conjugators

M. D. Ewbank

The demonstration of optical phase conjugation in photorefractive materials has been accomplished by numerous methods, including i) externally-pumped four-wave mixing,1ii) self-pumped (passive) phase conjugation,24iii) stimulated backscattering,5,6and iv) mutually-pumped phase conjugation.7-10Stimulated backscattering and self-pumped phase conjugators have only a single incident beam. On the other hand, externally-pumped four-wave mixing has two auxiliary pumping beams in addition to the incident probe beam. Different still is the cross-conjugation of the two incident beams in mutually pumped phase conjugators. To use these conjugators in a given application, the compatibility between the processes generating the phase-conjugate wave(s) and the application must be considered. The distinguishing features of the different conjugators translate to advantages or disadvantages for certain applications.

Controlling the frequency shift of a self-pumped phase conjugator

J. P. Jiang, Jack Feinberg

When the phase-conjugate replica of an optical beam is generated by traditional four-wave mixing with external pumping beams, the frequency of the phase-conjugate beam is fixed by the frequencies of the three input beams. In self-pumped phase conjugation, there is only one input beam, and the frequency of the output beam is free to roam. In photorefractive materials, this frequency difference between the incident and output beams is typically a few hertz. We present a method for controlling this frequency shift in the self-pumped phase-conjugate mirror that uses a ring configuration1 in photorefractive barium titanate. We show that two-beam coupling of an additional control beam with either of the optical beams already present in the ring cavity can alter the frequency of the phase-conjugate beam. We show that the control beam can alter the nonreciprocal phase shift2 of light propagating around the ring and thereby alter the frequency of the phase-conjugate beam. We also calculate the magnitude and the sign of the expected frequency shift as a function of the intensity, direction, and frequency of this control beam.
