Abstract

An increase of the phase-conjugation fidelity and its shot-to-shot stability by use of a two-cell phase-conjugating mirror has been demonstrated. We have achieved an average phase-conjugation fidelity of 0.85 ± 0.03.

Stimulated Brillouin scattering phase conjugation fidelity fluctuations

John J. Ottusch, David A. Rockwell

We observe shot-to-shot fluctuations in the far-field fidelity of stimulated Brillouin scattering phase-conjugate mirrors in the saturated reflectivity regime under various experimental conditions. The fluctuations, which are not seen in the reflectivity, reflect a partial breakdown in the discrimination mechanism that selectively amplifies the conjugate mode above the stimulated Brillouin scattering noise seed.

Measurements of stimulated Brillouin scattering phase-conjugate fidelity

Paul Suni, Joel Falk

We describe high-accuracy measurements of stimulated Brillouin scattering phase-conjugate fidelity. The dependence of fidelity on pump intensity and on pump-beam divergence is in rough agreement with theoretical predictions for the low-reflectivity limit, even for operation deep into the saturation regime.

Fidelity of optical phase conjugation by photorefractive degenerate four-wave mixing in BaTiO 3

David L. Naylor, Patrick W. Tam, R. W. Hellwarth

We use an experimental procedure first proposed by Basov et al 1 to measure the fidelity of the optical wavefront reconstruction process of phase conjugation due to degenerate four-wave mixing by photorefraction in a poled single crystal of p-type BaTiC3. A similar procedure was recently used to measure the phase-conjugate fidelity in stimulated Brillouin scattering.2

Phase-locked phase conjugation using a Brillouin loop scheme to eliminate phase fluctuations

Kevin D. Ridley, A. M. Scott

We describe experiments investigating a technique that uses stimulated Brillouin scattering to phase conjugate a number of laser beams while preserving their relative phases. Phase locking of a number of beams focused into a stimulated Brillouin scattering cell is achieved by four-wave mixing with a pair of unfocused pump beams. The second pump is generated from the first by use of a stimulated Brillouin scattering loop geometry that minimizes phase fluctuations. We show that the reduction in phase fluctuations substantially improves the degree of phase locking. The requirements on four-wave mixing pump intensity are determined. The technique has the advantage of being insensitive to changes in alignment, with the potential to combine coherently a large number of laser amplifiers in a simple and compact geometry.
