Pseudophase conjugation properties of a spherical optical array with large size and large radius of curvature

摘要

Under nonparaxial approximation, the pseudo-phase conjugation properties of spherical optical arrays with large size and large radius of curvature are analyzed in this paper. A theoretical model of optical arrays for compensation of static phase distortion has also been obtained. This theoretical model illustrates the types and degree of phase distortion that optical arrays can eliminate and the condition that optical arrays should satisfy. This paper also illustrates the difference of compensation properties between nonlinear phase conjugator and optical array. The numerical results agree with our theory model.
