Infrared Photorefractive Passive Phase Conjugation with BaTiO(3): Demonstrations with GaAlAs and 1.09-mum Ar(+) Lasers.

摘要

We report photorefractive passive phase conjugation of GaAlAs laser radiation at 815-865 nm and Ar+ laser radiation at 1090 nm. A ring passive phase conjugate mirror was used with BaTiO3 as the real-time holographic gain medium. With GaAlAs laser phase conjugate reflectives of up to 16% uncorrected for Fresnel losses were recorded. Effects of the strong associated feedback to the laser and attempts at mode locking are described. At 1090 nm the reflectivity remains approximately the same, but with a significantly longer time constant.
