Abstract
We study the influence of pump separation on polarization dependence a nd on conversion efficiency in a fiber-based optical phase-conjugator with two orthogonal pump waves at different wavelengths. The polarizat ion dependence is Found to be minimized when the pump wavelength separ ation is small, Furthermore, both theory and experiments show that the efficiency is maximized if the signal wavelength is located close to one of the pumps.
