Routing of High Data Rate Signals Using Degenerate Four Wave Mixing in BSO,
Abstract
Non-linear optical phase conjugation can be directly applied to real time spatial and/or temporal information processing of electromagnetic waves. In photorefractive materials the process may be described in terms of dynamic holography. The speed at which grating formation takes place is limited by the physical properties of the crystal and the intensities of the optical beams used to write the grating. The speed at which diffraction may occur from this grating does not, however, suffer such limitations and in this memorandum we demonstrate the use of degenerate four wave mixing in BSO to direct the flow of data whose information bandwidth exceeds 1MHz.
