Optical Phase Conjugation via Stimulated Brillouin Scattering in Carbon Disulfide.

Abstract

The interaction of a strong, monochromatic beam of light with liquid Carbon Disulfide can produce a backscattered wave that is a phase conjugate replica of the input beam. A Neodymium-glass laser focused into an unguided cell returned 33% of the incident energy in the backscattered wave. Normal reflection from the glass surfaces of the lens and cell can account for only 2.5% of this energy. Observations were also made concerning the distortion repairing qualities of the phase conjugate wave and the sensitivity of the process to multimode excitation. Finally, appreciable visible fluorescence was observed when phase conjugation occur red.
