Phase shifts of photorefractive gratings and phase-conjugate waves

Ian C. McMichael, Pochi Yeh

We present measurements of the two-wave mixing gain as a function of frequency detuning in photorefractive crystals. In many cases, this function is asymmetric, indicating that the phase shift of the photorefractive inde grating with respect to the light interference pattern is not exactly 90 degrees , as is often assumed. In four-wave mixing, the phase of the phase-conjugate wave contains the phase of the pumping and probe waves and a phase shift determined by the interaction taking place in the nonlinear medium. This second term, the phase shift of the phase conjugator, is a function of the type of grating and the phase shift of this grating. The phase shift of the grating obtained from the two-wave mixing measurements compares well with that obtained from four-wave mixing measurements of the phase of the phase conjugator.

Test of fidelity of phase conjugation

Joel Falk

The fidelity of the phase-conjugate signal produced by degenerate four-wave mixing was evaluated by conjugating and recombining the multiple-beam output from a phase grating. A single output beam resulted. If one or more of the beams emerging from the grating were blocked, additional beams appeared whose relative amplitudes agreed with theory for a perfect phase conjugator.

Phase conjugation and slow light in dye-doped chiral nematics

Dong Wei, S. Residori, U. Bortolozzo

Optical phase conjugation and slow light are obtained in dye-doped chiral nematics via degenerate four-wave mixing. The creation of the light-induced dynamical grating is described and the amplitude of the phase-conjugate wave is shown to follow the changes of the input signal, hence providing efficient distortion correction. Associated to these capabilities, slowing down of light pulses is obtained thanks to the dispersive properties of the wave mixing occurring in the cholesteric liquid crystals, opening the way to applications in interferometry and imaging through highly scattering media.
