ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for optical phase conjugation, which apparatus is also known as a phase conjugate mirror, utilizes Brillouin enhanced four wave mixing in which a forward going pump wave and a backward going pump wave have frequencis which differ by twice the Brillouin frequency of the medium. The probe wave and the conjugate wave, which is obtained by Brillouin enhanced four wave mixing in the medium, have the same frequency, which differs from the pump wave frequencies by the Brillouin frequency of the four wave mixing medium. High reflectivity (gain) is obtained as a result of Brillouin resonance enhancement. The backward going pump wave is created from the forward going pump wave which is transmitted through the four wave mixing medium by stimulated Brillouin scattering in a Brillouin scattering medium having a Brillouin frequency twice that of the four wave mixing medium. The two pump waves are therefore phase conjugates of each other and the quality of the phase conjugation process is not degraded even by the use of an aberrated pump wave.
