Optical processing using phase conjugation

  • Chapter
Nonlinear Optics in Signal Processing

Part of the book series: Engineering Aspects of Lasers Series ((EALS,volume 49))

Abstract

Optical phase conjugation (OPC or PC) is a technique that has attracted a great deal of attention during the past ten years or so from those working in the field of optics, lasers, nonlinear materials and optical information processing. In essence, phase conjugation is a process that uses a wide variety of nonlinear optical effects to generate in real time a wavefront that is an exact replica of any arbitrary incident wavefront apart from a reversal of both its direction of propagation and its overall phase.
