Abstract

The phenomenon is considered of degenerate phase conjugation at four-wave mixing in uniaxial crystals. Polarization characteristics are calculated. The cases of complete and incomplete phase conjugation are analysed.

Large Signal Analysis of Phase Variations and Bistability in Degenerate Four-Wave Mixing

Kazuhito Tajima, Hsiung Hsu

Large signal analyses for degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) have been reported for sometime(1-3). It was nevertheless not obvious why, in specific examples(1,2). DFWM exhibits hysteresis and bistability characteristics, whereas in the case of ideal phase conjugation(3), there is no such instability. The objective of this paper is to show that hysteresis and bistability are caused by phase variations in the interaction. These phase variations are detrimental to phase conjugation and may Indeed up-set the basic characteristies of phase conjugation.

Vectorial electromagnetic theory of degenerate four-wave mixing in isotropic Kerr-like media

Zdeněk Bouchal, Jan Peřina

The polarization properties of the phase-conjugate wave generated by means of degenerate four-wave mixing in isotropic Kerr-like media are analysed for monochromatic plane waves of arbitrary polarizations using the Laplace transformation to solve the coupled wave equations. The model presented enables us to find the reflection and transmission matrices defined for the electric and magnetic strength vectors and to discuss the efficiency and fidelity of the phase conjugation.

Polarization characteristics of phase-conjugate mirrors obtained by resonant degenerate four-wave mixing

M. Ducloy, Rama K. Raj, Daniel Bloch

Polarization properties of phase-conjugate (PC) mirrors obtained by degenerate four-wave mixing in resonant gas media are experimentally analyzed on various neon transitions and theoretically interpreted. We show that, because of the Doppler broadening of the decay rate of the gratings, these properties are rather insensitive to the relaxation processes in the gas phase. We demonstrate simple ways of characterizing PC mirrors with either lambda/2 birefringence (for cross-polarized pumps) or J-dependent linear dichroism (for parallel-pump polarization).

Polarimetric Study of the Phase Conjugate Wave in an Isotropic Medium

Santosh Kumar Saha

We derive expressions for the third-order nonlinearities responsible for the optical phase conjugation via backward degenerate four-wave mixing using various combinations of left and right circularly polarized beams in isotropic media. The effects of polarization conjugation and the nulling effect of phase conjugate waves are also discussed in an isotropic medium.

Theory of mode hopping and phase conjugation characteristics in degenerate four-wave mixing

K. Tajima, Hsiung Hsu

A large-signal theory of noncollinear degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) is presented, taking into account the pump depletion and the full nonlinear polarization density appropriate for the noncollinear geometry. Phases of all of the interacting fields, as well as the amplitudes, are obtained as functions of the spatial coordinate. Owing to the completeness of the set of analytic solutions, considerable physical insights into the physics of DFWM are obtained. The DFWM exhibits a variety of rich behaviors, including hysteresis and bistability, multistability, and multiple isolated branches. The authors show that all of these behaviors can be explained in a unified way, that is, in terms of mode hopping characteristics.>
