چکیده

We demonstrate experimentally that the effects of nonreciprocal elements or media that would otherwise spoil phase conjugation can be neutralized by using a tandem combination of a modal- and polarization-scrambling fiber and a phase-conjugate mirror. A theoretical model to explain the experimental results is presented.

Compensation for phase distortions in nonlinear media by phase conjugation.

The ability of nonlinear optical phase-conjugate mirrors (PCM's) to correct for linear refractive-index inhomogeneities has been demonstrated both theoretically1'2 and experimentally.2 Propagation media often possess intensity-dependent indices of refraction that cause severe propagation distortion, such as thermal blooming and self-focusing. These distortions are often manifested in high-inten...

Special Issue Papers Polarization and Spatial Information Recovery by Modal Dispersal and Phase Conjugation: Properties and Applications

We describe recent theoretical and experimental studies of polarization and spatial information recovery by modal dispersal and phase conjugation. We discuss the fidelity of this phase-conjugation process as a function of input-beam launching conditions. We also describe several new applications of the scheme which involve correction of nonreciprocal polarization distortions, correction of loss...

Distortion correction by phase conjugation of nonparaxial vectorial beams: a general proof.

We present a general proof of the distortion-correction theorem, that is, of the possibility of correcting wave distortion by the technique of optical phase conjugation. The proof is valid for fully vectorial nonparaxial propagation in the presence of a tensorial refractive-index perturbation and backscattering of the incident field.

Nonreciprocal light propagation in a silicon photonic circuit.

Optical communications and computing require on-chip nonreciprocal light propagation to isolate and stabilize different chip-scale optical components. We have designed and fabricated a metallic-silicon waveguide system in which the optical potential is modulated along the length of the waveguide such that nonreciprocal light propagation is obtained on a silicon photonic chip. Nonreciprocal ligh...
