Beam coupling and locking of lasers using photorefractive four-wave mixing
Abstract
The use of photorefractive four-wave mixing for coupling and locking of lasers is discussed. A demonstration of the double phase-conjugate mirror and the semilinear passive phase-conjugate mirror, pumped simultaneously by different lasers, is described. The cleanup of a distorted laser beam using another local laser and configurations for the phase locking of lasers are discussed.
