Abstract

An experimental investigation was made of the angular selectivity of a wavefront-reversing mirror based on a degenerate four-wave interaction and of the influence of this selectivity on the quality of an image formed by the reversed wave in a scheme with an object in one of the pump beams.

Control of the spatial structure of radiation formed by reflection from a four-wave mirror

Alexander A. Betin, Alexander A. Shilov

An experimental investigation was made of the feasibility of controlling the spatial structure of a wave formed by four-wave reversal of the wavefront with the aid of modulation of the field amplitude or phase in a transverse cross section of one of the pump beams. It was found that the effect can be used to transmit data or images across inhomogeneous media.

Quality of wavefront reversal of multifrequency radiation by four-wave interaction

A. I. Erokhin, Valeri I. Kovalev, П. А. Михеев +1 more

It is shown experimentally that broadening of the frequency spectrum of waves participating in four-wave interaction in a system with exactly counterpropagating reference waves results in an angular spread of the reflected radiation and thus causes a deterioration in the wavefront reversal quality. The angular spread is proportional to the angle of convergence of the signal and the parallel pump wave and to the width of the emission spectrum.

Wavefront reversal of optical radiation using feedback in four-wave interaction

Igor' M Bel'dyugin, Michail G. Galushkin, E M Zemskov

A theoretical analysis is made of wavefront reversal which is not sensitive to the optical quality of the nonlinear wavefront-reversing medium when complex-conjugate reference waves are formed spontaneously. An investigation is made of the linear and nonlinear stages of reversed wave generation in various nonlinear media using feedback in degenerate and nondegenerate four-wave interaction. It is shown that in nonamplifying nonlinear media this method can only be achieved by additional amplification of the radiation reflected from the nonlinear medium.

Quality of wavefront reversal in four-photon parametric interaction with rotation

O P Glushenkova, Valery V. Ivakhnik, В. И. Никонов

The spread function is found for degenerate four-photon conversion with rotation. Estimates are given of dependences of the resolution of the radiation converter on the rotation, on the detuning of the image plane from the object plane, and on the divergence of the pump wave.

Influence of linear absorption and reflection on the characteristics of four-wave wavefront reversal

Boris Ya Zel'dovich, Tatiana Victorovna Yakovleva

An analysis is made of the theory of four-wave wavefront reversal allowing for linear absorption and reflection of all the interacting waves from a mirror which forms a second reference wave from the first incident wave. The Born approximation is used to find the optimum thickness of the nonlinear medium giving the maximum reversal coefficient. Conditions for parametric four-wave oscillation with an arbitrary frequency shift are determined and the dependence of the threshold intensity of the incident reference wave on the linear reflection coefficient of the wave-forming mirror is found for a given thickness of the medium in the absence of absorption.

Degenerate four-wave interaction in a resonant medium allowing for variation of the pump waves

Alexander A. Betin, A. I. Dyatlov, S. N. Kulagina +2 more

A theoretical analysis is made of the efficiency of wavefront reversal under conditions of a degenerate form of the four-wave interaction in a resonantly absorbing (amplifying) medium allowing for changes in the pump waves as a result of their natural resonant absorption (amplification). The coefficient of reflection into a reversed wave is obtained as a function of the optical thickness of a layer of the medium, the boundary values of the pump wave intensity, and the shift of the field frequency from the line center. The optimal values of these parameters and the corresponding maximum reflection coefficient are determined.
