Abstract

Recent work on phase conjugate resonators and their bistabilities and applications is reviewed. Emphasis is given to resonators involving degenerate four-wave mixing and those involving Brillouin enhanced four-wave mixing.

Amplified reflection, phase conjugation, and oscillation in degenerate four-wave mixing

Amnon Yariv, David M. Pepper

A number of new optical effects that result from degenerate four-wave mixing in transparent optical media are proposed and analyzed. The applications are relevant to time-reversed (phase-conjugated) propagation as well as to a new mode of parametric oscillation.

Introduction To And Applications Of Optical Phase Conjugation

Robert A. Fisher, J. McIver, A.F. Lange +3 more

Optical phase conjugation is concerned with the use of nonlinear optical effects to precisely reverse the direction of propagation of each plane wave in an arbitrary beam of light. This causes the return beam to exactly retrace the path of the incident beam, leading to many applications of automatic pointing and tracking (even in the presence of an inhomogeneous medium). The main goals of this course are familiarization with how each of the many nonlinear optical effects gives rise to a phase conjugate signal, and understanding and appreciation of the many potential applications for optical phase conjugation. Conjugation techniques involving Kerr-like degenerate four-wave mixing, resonant degenerate four-wave mixing, stimulated Brillouin scattering, photorefractive effects, surface phenomena, and others will be carefully reviewed. Applications of particular importance to this course will include distortion correction, pointing, tracking, laser-resonator design, optical information processing, etc. Throughout the course, key references will be identified for those wishing to pursue any topic more vigorously.

Efficient phase conjugation by Brillouin-enhanced four-wave mixing

A. M. Scott, M. S. Hazell

Andreev et al.1 have shown that Brillouin-enhanced four-wave mixing can be used to achieve phase conjugation with high reflectivities (~106). In this paper we develop a theoretical model which effectively describes the four-wave mixing process and compare the results of this model with the experimental results we have obtained.
