We demonstrate what is believed to be the first phase-coherent locking of a high-power broad-area diode to a single-frequency master laser. We use photorefractive double phase conjugation to lock the diode in a self-optimized complex spatial mode while the photorefractive crystal diffracts that complex mode in a near-diffraction-limited beam. 相似文献

In the photorefractive wave-mixing system, fluctuation in the signal beam intensity of the photorefractive output with a reflection grating has been analyzed by employing pump feedback method. In this method, fluctuations of the photorefractive wave-mixing process not only induce the intensity fluctuation of the mixing waves but also induce phase fluctuation of the mixing waves. Thus, the phase of the pump and signal beams at the output surface fluctuates in time around a mean value. Using such a positive feedback method of a pump beams, the relative fluctuation in the photorefractive output signal beam intensity with respect to its mean intensity can be minimized significantly without reducing its mean intensity. The factors that control the fluctuation in the signal beam intensity, such as the phase fluctuation of the output pump beam, absorption strength of the material and the feedback reflectivity of the cavity mirrors, on the relative fluctuation of the output signal intensity in the photorefractive wave-mixing systems have been studied in detail. It has been found that the fluctuation of the output signal intensity relative to its mean intensity in the photorefractive wave-mixing system can be suppressed to larger extent by taking lower value of feedback reflectivity of the cavity mirrors which could exist at a higher value of absorption strength of the photorefractive materials. 相似文献

The dynamics of semiconductor lasers with photorefractive phase conjugate optical feedback are experimentally studied. Photorefractive fringes considered here are rather static compared with time fluctuations of laser output power. Therefore, it is expected that a semiconductor laser with photorefractive feedback shows similar dynamics to those with conventional optical feedback. We examine relaxation oscillation and external cavity modes of laser output power in the presence of photorefractive phase conjugate feedback. It is proved that the dynamics of photorefractive phase conjugate feedback are fundamentally the same as those of conventional optical feedback. 相似文献

We propose a simple method for measuring the gain coefficient of two-beam coupling for photorefractive polymer film. To measure the gain coefficient, we attached a phase grating onto the photorefractive polymer film and made an interference pattern between the transmitted and diffracted beams in the photorefractive film by using an illuminating single beam. The gain coefficient values measured at various external fields by our method showed good agreement with those measured by a standard two-beam coupling method. Compared to standard two-beam coupling, this method exhibited fairly improved stability of the output signal to external factors such as human sounds and airstreams. 相似文献

Based on a previously developed two-level model of four-wave interaction in photorefractive crystals, expressions for the amplitude and phase of a transmission holographic grating have been obtained. The analysis of these expressions points to the dependence of both the amplitude and the phase of the grating on the intensity of the readout beam. 相似文献

We report self-pumped phase conjugation in a photorefractive liquid crystal light valve with a tilted feedback mirror. This is a new scheme for the self-generation of a phase-conjugate replica and can in general be applied to thin nonlinear layers, opening the way to distortion-correction applications of thin media. 相似文献

In this paper, we review recent progress of research on the photorefractive effect of ferroelectric liquid crystals. The photorefractive effect is a phenomenon that forms a dynamic hologram in a material. The interference of two laser beams in a photorefractive material establishes a refractive index grating. This phenomenon is applicable to a wide range of devices related to diffraction optics including 3D displays, optical amplification, optical tomography, novelty filters, and phase conjugate wave generators. Ferroelectric liquid crystals are considered as a candidate for practical photorefractive materials. A refractive index grating formation time of 8–10 ms and a large gain coefficient are easily obtained in photorefractive ferroelectric liquid crystals. 相似文献

We report a demonstration of distributed-feedback (DFB) optical parametric oscillation (OPO) by writing photorefractive gratings in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN). The photorefractive DFB structures were fabricated by illumination of PPLN with UV light through a photomask and by writing of PPLN with UV-light gated interfering laser beams at 532 nm. Evidence of OPO was observed from the spectral narrowing at the 1438.8- and the 619.3-nm signal wavelengths from 1064- and 532-nm-pumped PPLN crystals with the DFB grating periods phase matched to the 4084.5- and 3774-nm idler wavelengths, respectively. 相似文献

The photorefractive response to an applied electric field is measured in a photorefractive quantum well, providing evidence
in favor of the nonlinear transport in the device due to the hot electrons. The reduced mobility of the hot electrons limits
the drift length, and thereby limits fringe overshoot. Thus the nonlinear transport prevents the slowing down of the grating
writing rate for increasing fields which is common in bulk photorefractives. The photorefractive phase shift in transverse-field
photorefractive quantum wells is measured as a function of the frequency offset between two laser writing beams that generate
moving gratings. The two-wave mixing passes through a maximum at an optimum frequency which depends on the magnitude and the
sign of the applied dc electric field. The phase shift associated with the moving grating adds or subtracts from the static
phase shift induced by hot-electron transport in the semiconductor quantum wells, depending on the sign of the field and the
sign of the dominant photocarriers. We observe a linear relationship between the roll-off frequency and the power of the writing
beams.

3 ) stimulated photorefractive backscattering (SPBS) phase conjugator. The SPBS process was successfully achieved by the combination
of the short-wavelength diode laser and the highly doped photorefractive BaTiO3:Co crystal. The spectral width of the diode laser is reduced to 7.2 pm because of the narrow spectral bandwidth of the gratings
[with wave number of K=2k(2k gratings)] formed in the SPBS phase conjugator, compared with the transmission grating formed
in the conventional cat conjugator, which was used previously. The SPBS phase conjugator was successfully used to suppress
self-frequency scanning, and wavelength-stable oscillation of the SPBS phase-conjugator-coupled diode laser was achieved.

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. 相似文献

By use of the highly dispersive phase coupling effect in a photorefractive wave mixing process, we have observed ultraslow propagation of a single Gaussian light pulse with a group velocity ∼0.5 m/s in a photorefractive Bi12SiO20 crystal at room temperature. The ultraslow Gaussian pulse is amplified due to an intensity coupling effect but keeping its Gaussian profile with high fidelity. The group velocity of the Gaussian pulse can be controlled to a large extent. This technique is useful for controllable optical delay lines. 相似文献

In this work, we show that it is possible to change the properties of an optical vortex formed in a speckle pattern by the control of an external electric field applied to a sillenite-type photorefractive material in a non-holographic configuration. To show it, a scheme that allows the recovering of both, the polarization state and the phase distribution of an optical field was implemented. Changes in the polarization state of the light in the neighborhood of the vortex were observed with the application of an external electric field. Likewise, changes in the phase structure around the vortex and displacements of the vortices themselves were measured. These displacements have a fairly linear dependence on the applied field to the photorefractive crystal. Experimental results are qualitatively explained with the theoretical treatment of non-holographic recording in photorefractive crystals. 相似文献

The threshold behavior is studied for a ring-loop coherent oscillator with a photorefractive strontium barium niobate (SBN)
sample. A soft onset of oscillation is revealed and critical slowing down is observed in the temporal development of light-induced
scattering below the threshold, thus pointing to a similarity with a second-order phase transition.
