چکیده
We describe the experimental measurement of phase-conjugate reflectivity versus various ratios of input-beam intensities in photorefractive barium titanate and strontium barium niobate crystals. The experimental results are compared with the theoretical prediction from the coupled-wave theory. Three different methods to measure the nonlinear coupling constant of the crystal are also presented and compared.

2k-Grating-assisted self-pumped phase conjugation: theoretical and experimental studies
We investigated 2k-grating-assisted self-pumped phase conjugation in photorefractive Ce:BaTiO3 crystals. The phase-conjugation process involves a combination of four-wave mixing and stimulated photorefractive backscattering. An approximation involving separate interaction regions is used to theoretically calculate the reflectivity of phase conjugation as a function of the coupling strength of f...
متن کاملPhase conjugation involving incoherent counterpropagating beams in photorefractive media.
We propose and analyze a new type of phase conjugation between counterpropagating beams in photorefractive materials based on diffraction from transmission gratings only. This effect does not require temporal coherence between the counterpropagating beams and may occur spontaneously, with no external seeding, even with wide (frequency) band light sources.
متن کاملExact solution of a nonlinear model of four-wave mixing and phase conjugation.
An exact solution of a nonlinear model of holographic four-wave mixing is derived. An expression for the reflectivity of a phase-conjugate mirror with depleted pumps is presented. We find that such a phase-conjugate mirror may exhibit bistability.

Underwater acoustic communication systems suffer from the channel impairments which results in time spreading of the transmitted signal. In underwater environment, multiple replicas of the transmitted signal are received at the receiver through different paths, which causes significant Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI). Decision Feedback Equalizers (DFE) was utilized to overcome this type of inte...
متن کاملConjugation fidelity and reflectivity in photorefractive double phase-conjugate mirrors.
We present an experimental study of the behavior of photorefractive double phase-conjugate mirrors that illustrates recent theoretical predictions. We observe a sharp fidelity threshold that significantly depends on the specific feature size in the input beams. Furthermore, we find that if the two input beams have unequal intensities the conjugation process is asymmetric and the steady-state fi...
