Abstract :
Theoretical and experimental results obtained in the study of phase-locked conjugation of two light beams using a phase synchronizer demonstrate how phase conjugation of depolarized radiation can be used to compensate aberration and depolarization distortions in solid-state media. Two-beam phase conjugation via mutual scattering of orthogonally polarized pump waves under four-wave mixing is discussed. A novel analog operation-orthogonal phase conjugation (OPC)-involving an electromagnetic field was realized with a phase synchronizer
