Abstract

A photorefractive phase-conjugate mirror with linear absorption is examined. An objective of this study is to identify possible effects of absorption on the self-oscillation conditions of the mirror and the properties of the excited conjugate wave. It has been found that self-oscillation is still possible in the presence of absorption. However, the coupling coefficient required for self-oscillation must increase in magnitude with increasing absorption coefficient to counteract the depressing effects of absorption. A consequence of self-oscillation in the presence of absorption is enhancement of the mirror reflectivity. A parametric study of the absorption-enhanced mirror is presented.
