Abstract
Features like efficiency and stability of the double phase conjugate mirror (DPCM) in BaTiO3 obviously depend on the beam fanning (BF) experienced by each incident beam. We propose here a new approach to DPCM optimization whi ch consists in studying the BF phenomenon for each interacting beam. This a llows one to choose the best angular configuration of the incident beams in DPCM. The investigation is experimental, by recording the fanning patterns , and also theoretical, by interpreting numerically these patterns on the b asis of the coupling gain maximization in the two-wave mixing theory. We fo cus on the influence of the incident beam width and incidence angle. (C) 20 01 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
