Four-wave mixing and edge-enhanced optical correlation in a Ce:KNSBN crystal

In the case of degenerate four-wave mixing in a cerium-doped potassium sodium strontium barium niobate (Ce:KNSBN) crystal, it is found that the transmission grating is dominant when the incident beams are extraordinarily polarized, the crystal response is more rapid, and the conjugate beam is more intense. Furthermore, the variation of the conjugate beam intensity forms a loop as the fringe modulation of the transmission grating varies. Based on this observation, we have implemented edge enhancement of an image and edge-enhanced optical correlation via four-wave mixing in a Ce:KNSBN crystal without the requirement of reversal of the signal-pump-beam intensity ratio.     

Phase conjugation via unequal amplitude multiple gratings in photorefractives: A simple shooting method for numerical solution

We present a simple shooting method to obtain numerical solutions of the nonlinear coupled-wave equations for degenerate four-wave mixing in photorefractive crystals when four different types of the index gratings of unequal amplitudes are responsible for phase-conjugation. Our analysis includes the effects of pump depletion and absorption in the medium. Intensities of the four beams, both inside and at the output surface, are obtained as a function of four unequal coupling strengths and absorption coefficient. Intensity of the generated phase-conjugate beam is shown as a function of both the small and wide ranges of signal beam intensity. It is found that the multigrating operation with a careful choice of coupling constants and their combinations may improve the phase-conjugate wave generation. Also the presence of absorption reduces the phase-conjugate intensity more significantly when all the gratings are operative than when a single grating is allowed. Numerical results obtained from the computer calculations are presented in graphical form.

Double signal phase conjugation with a Cat conjugator

The phase conjugate reflection of double signals, induced by the self-pumped phase conjugation, is demonstrated in a 16° cut Cu-doped potassium sodium strontium barium niobate (KNSBN) photorefractive crystal. The phase conjugate reflectivities of signals were measured versus the pump-signal beam ratio. A comparison was made between the signal's reflectivity with and without the presence of the other signal beam. The multi-region four-wave mixing model within the same crystal has been employed to explain the geometry performance and the experimental results.     

Theory of a “stimulated photorefractive backscattering and four-wave mixing” self-pumped phase conjugator

We give a theoretical analysis of a “stimulated photorefractive backscattering and four-wave mixing” (SPB-FWM) self-pumped phase conjugator (SPPC) in which the generation of the phase conjugate wave relies on both stimulated photorefractive backscattering (SPB) and four-wave mixing (FWM) processes. The two pumping beams in the FWM process are, respectively, the forward-propagating beam of which the generation is seeded by the fanning effect, and the backward-propagating beam that is generated by the SPB process. Assuming that the SPB interaction is seeded by the scattering centers in the crystal, we have calculated the threshold four-wave mixing coupling strength (γ₁l₁)_th as a function of the SPB two-wave mixing coupling strength (γ₂l₂) corresponding to the 2k grating and of the reflectivity R′ of the scattering centers. Above threshold, we have also calculated the phase-conjugate reflectivity with a numerical method. Our calculations show that the threshold as well as the reflectivity of a SPB-FWM SPPC strongly depend on γ₂l₂ and R′. It is also shown that a high phase-conjugate reflectivity can be easily realised in doped barium titanate crystals which are shown to have much larger γ₁ and γ₂ than an undoped one.

No external electric field is applied and electron diffusion is the main mechanism responsible for the formation of the hologram. The theoretical and experimental results for wavefront reflectivity as a function of the intensity ratio of the writing beams are given.

Effect of partial coherence on four-wave mixing in photorefractive materials via reflection grating approximation

We investigate the effect of beam coherence on four-wave mixing via reflection gratings in photorefractive media. For the case of phase conjugation, the results of our theoretical analysis indicate that partial coherence always leads to a drop of signal gain and phase conjugate reflectivity in non-depleted cases. In general, the mutual coherence of the signal beam and the pump beam can be enhanced due to the process of wave mixing. The mutual coherence of the phase conjugate beam and one of the pump beams depends on the beam intensity ratio as well as the optical path difference. This is distinctly different from the four-wave mixing case with a transmission grating. Received: 15 October 1999 / Revised version: 26 June 2000 / Published online: 7 February 2001
