Superluminal optical phase conjugation: Pulse reshaping and instability
We theoretically investigate the response of optical phase conjugators to incident probe pulses. In the stable ~subthreshold! operating regime of an optical phase conjugator it is possible to transmit probe pulses with a superluminally advanced peak, whereas conjugate reflection is always subluminal. In the unstable ~abovethreshold! regime, superluminal response occurs both in reflection and in...
متن کاملNonlinear Pulse Reshaping in Optical Fibers
The propagation of ultrashort laser pulses in the optical fibers is connected with a plenty of interesting and practically important phenomena. Unique dispersive and nonlinear properties of the optical fibers lead to various scenarios of the pulse evolution which are resulted in particular changes of the pulse shape, spectrum and chirp. The modern age of the optical fibers starts from the 1960s...
متن کاملSuperluminal pulse transmission through a phase-conjugating mirror
We theoretically analyze wave packet transmission through a phase-conjugating mirror and show that the transmission of a suitably chosen input pulse is superluminal, i.e. the peak of the pulse emerges from the mirror before the time it takes to travel the same distance in vacuum. This pulse reshaping effect can be attributed directly to the dispersion relation in the nonlinear medium constituti...
متن کاملOptical phase conjugation: principles, techniques, and applications
Over the last three decades, optical phase conjugation (OPC) has been one of the major research subjects in the field of nonlinear optics and quantum electronics. OPC defines usually a special relationship between two coherent optical beams propagating in opposite directions with reversed wave front and identical transverse amplitude distributions. The unique feature of a pair of phase-conjugat...
متن کاملSuperluminal Pulse Tunneling
The quantitative aspects of the tunneling of a Gaussian pulse through a barrier are discussed. The salient features are: the tunneling speed is generally greater than the vacuum speed of light. However causality is not violated. The tunneling time does not depend on the thickness of the forbidden zone. A lateral displacement of the transmitted pulse is observed as is known from total reflexion....
