Fundamental Modes of Stimulated Scattering Phase-conjugate Resonators

Wang Shaomin, H. Weber

An equivalent transfer matrix describing the operation of stimulated scattering phase-conjugate mirrors is given. By this matrix the fundamental eigenmodes of a resonator with such a phase-conjugate mirror can be derived. It is shown that this resonator is unconditionally confined, absolutely dynamically stable, and stable against perturbations.

Single-frequency phase-conjugate laser resonator using stimulated Brillouin scattering

Michael J. Damzen, Marcus H. R. Hutchinson, W. A. Schroeder

An experimental investigation of a phase-conjugate laser resonator using a Nd:YAG gain medium and incorporating Brillouin-enhanced four-wave mixing is reported. Phase-conjugate reflectivities of greater than unity and stable oscillation between a single laser frequency and a counterpropagating Stokes frequency are demonstrated.

Orthogonality properties of transverse eigenmodes of phase conjugate optical resonators

Eun‐Soo Kim, Che-Hwang Cho, In-Eung Young +1 more

The orthogonality properties of the transverse eigenmodes of optical resonators which have phase conjugate mirrors at both ends are derived. As in conventional resonators and also resonators with only one phase conjugate mirror, it is shown that the transverse eigenmodes are essentially biorthogonal, a relation which is satisfied between the set of modes propagating in one direction around the resonator and the adjoint set of modes propagating in the reverse direction.

Optical Beam Phase Conjugation By Stimulated Backscattering

R. W. Hellwarth

We review the history and nature of stimulated scattering of optical beams and of the large phase-conjugate component often observed in stimulated backscattering, whether it be of Raman, Brillouin, Rayleigh, or other origin. We review the theory of the magnitude of the phase-conjugate component in stimulated backscattering of waves in a multimode optical guide (the usual experimental configuration) or in free focus. Wide applicability of stimulated backscattering for optical phase conjugation is found.

Phase conjugation in stimulated scattering

Boris Ya Zel'dovich, N. F. Pilipetskiǐ, Vladimir V. Shkunov

Various aspects of optical phase conjugation are discussed: the properties of the conjugate wave, its potential applications, the basic conjugation methods, and a brief history of the question. The theory for phase conjugation in stimulated scattering is set forth in detail. The basic experimental results on this conjugation method are also discussed in detail. Phase conjugation occurs because that configuration of the back-scattered field which has the conjugate wavefront is amplified to the greatest extent (at a doubled gain) in the intense speckle-inhomogeneous conjugate wave in a medium in which stimulated scattering occurs. Because of the large overall amplification in stimulated scattering, all the other, uncorrelated, configurations of the spontaneously scattered nucleating waves are amplified by a factor of 107 less and are discriminated against. The intervals of values of the various parameters in which the conjugate configuration (the specklon) exists are discussed theoretically, as is the effect of nonlinear selection and saturation on phase conjugation in stimulated scattering. There is a review of experimental results on the first observation of the effect, on the measurement of the angular structure of the uncorrelated waves and of the extent to which they are discriminated against, on the phase fluctuations of the conjugate wave, on the conjugation of subthreshold and depolarized radiation, and on phase conjugation in stimulated scattering in focused beams and for other scattered-wave amplification mechanisms.

The effect of frequency shift on the stability and mode properties of stimulated scattering phase-conjugate resonators

Jing Liu

The effect of frequency shift on the stability and mode properties of Stimulated Scattering Phaae-Conjugate Resonators (SSPOR) has been studied by introdaoing the generalized self-consistency condition and the Stimulated Scattering Phase-Conjugate Mirror(SSPOM')s transfer matrix that has explicit variable frequency.
