Abstract

Optical phase conjugation has in recent years attracted a considerable amount of interest. A whole host of devices will soon be constructed that are based on phase-conjugating components. Of particular interest is a phase-conjugate resonator that may be used to investigate phenomena such as bistability1 and chaos.2 It also serves as a convenient Instrument for verifying some theorems on phase-conjugate scattering.3

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.

Optical Beam Phase Conjugation By Stimulated Backscattering

R. W. Hellwarth

We review the history and nature of stimulated scattering of optical beams and of the large phase-conjugate component often observed in stimulated backscattering, whether it be of Raman, Brillouin, Rayleigh, or other origin. We review the theory of the magnitude of the phase-conjugate component in stimulated backscattering of waves in a multimode optical guide (the usual experimental configuration) or in free focus. Wide applicability of stimulated backscattering for optical phase conjugation is found.

Recently much interest has been paid to squeezed states of light. Such states have important potential applications. Obviously, it is convenient for application if squeezed state light can be radiated from lasers directly. This letter proposes a regime for this kind of lasers.

Phase conjugation of nonstationary optical signals

J. A. Tataronis, Bahaa E. A. Saleh

The generation of phase conjugated replicas of optical signals has been the subject of many theoretical and experimental studies. Phase conjugation of harmonic signals is a byproduct of certain nonlinear processes such as degenerate four- wave mixing and stimulated Brillouin scattering. Although conjugation of steady signals is well established, the possibility and the effectiveness of conjugating unsteady signals remain largely unexplored. When the envelope of an optical signal varies, new physical phenomena in the conjugation process arise. As previously shown,1 dispersion in the conjugation process distorts the phase conjugate replica of a pulsed signal. Distortion appears even if the response of the medium to the applied optical signal is instantaneous.
