Beam coupling and locking of lasers using photorefractive four-wave mixing.

چکیده
We discuss the use of photorefractive four-wave mixing for coupling and locking of lasers. A demonstration of the double phase-conjugate mirror and the semilinear passive phase-conjugate mirror, pumped simultaneously by different lasers, is described. Cleanup of a distorted laser beam using another local laser and configurations for the phase locking of lasers are discussed.

رفتار نورشکستی بلور تیتانات باریم و کاربردهای آن در اندازه گیریهای اپتیکی در زمان واقعی
In this research we measure some of the optical parameters of Barium Titanate crystal (BaTiO3), such as signal beam gain, coupling constant (exponential gain coefficient), change in index refraction and photorefractive sensitivity, which are very significant for optical data storage. In all experiment, two- wave mixing configuration at 632.8 nm (He- Ne laser) were used. Experimental data f...
متن کاملHolographic injection locking of a broad area laser diode via a photorefractive thin-film device.
We demonstrate locking of a high power broad area laser diode to a single frequency using holographic feedback from a photorefractive polymer thin-film device for the first time. A four-wave mixing setup is used to generate feedback for the broad area diode at the wavelength of the single frequency source (Ti:Sapphire laser) while the spatial distribution adapts to the preferred profile of the ...
متن کاملNonlinear vectorial two-beam coupling and forward four-wave mixing in photorefractive materials.
In this Letter we present an exact solution with linear absorption for a system of nonlinear differential equations that model two separate photorefractive processes. The first is the coupling of two beams with general polarizations, restricted to the case when the magnitude of the coupling for one polarization is the same as that for the other polarization.' The second is scalar forward four-w...
متن کاملParametric four-wave mixing using a single cw laser.
Four-wave mixing can be used to generate coherent output beams, with frequencies difficult to acquire in commercial lasers. Here, a single narrow external cavity diode laser locked to the two photon 5s-5d transition in rubidium is combined with a tapered amplifier system to produce a high power cw beam at 778 nm and used to generate coherent light at 420 nm through parametric four-wave mixing. ...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal nature of the optical return field generated by four-wave mixing in photorefractive and Kerr materials
We have theoretically analyzed the return field produced by an externally pumped Kerr medium, an externally pumped photorefractive medium, and a self-pumped photorefractive medium, for an input field with arbitrary spatial and temporal characteristics. For a stationary beam with spatial structure, all three cases yield a spatial phase-conjugate return beam. For a beam with dynamic fluctuations,...
