Phase Conjugation

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Springer Series on Wave Phenomena ((SSWAV,volume 9))

Abstract

This chapter describes the principles of optical phase conjugation and examines the nonlinear processes of four-wave mixing and stimulated scattering that give rise to phase conjugated wavefronts. Applications for good phase conjugating systems are considered along with the optical requirements for the materials. Possible future developments in the field are discussed.
